History

In 1911, the lynching in Coatesville of Zachariah Walker, a black man who killed a white mill policeman, prompted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to investigate and called for an end to lynching nationwide. [http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/FedCrimes/story?id=6809946&page=1]. The population was 10,838 at the 2000 census.

Lukens Steel was the largest employer in Chester County in the 1960s, with over 10,000 workers. The redevelopment plans have not been without controversy , including a five-year eminent domain dispute with a local landowner in neighboring Valley Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania Township. It has been resolved without the need to seize the property, but it caused the ouster of four incumbent City Councilpersons in the November 2005 general elections.
