Considered a borough of Chester County, PA, Malvern is a close-knit community of just under 3,000 residents as of the 2010 Census. This community is bordered by Paoli Pike on the south, Sugartown Road on the west, the Willistown Township on the east, and the East Whiteland Township on the north. Situated just south of US 30 and easily accessible to Route 202, it enjoys a great location within the greater Main Line area.

This 1.2 square mile community was originally settled by Welsh immigrants in the 17th century, who purchased land from William Penn. Although the origin of the name is unclear, some suspect is may have been for Malvern Hills in Great Britain or Malvern Hill in Virginia. The area has a rich history dating back ever since its founding. For instance, the Paoli Massacre occurred there on September 20, 1777 during the Revolutionary War. Over the centuries, the community has maintained its small size as well as its close knit sense of community. Despite its small size, however, the community has certainly seen a thriving local economy. For instance, the Malvern Business and Professional Association promotes Malvern commerce as well as the unique character of the town. And Siemens Healthcare,Ricoh Americas Corporation (formerly IKON Office Solutions), The Vanguard Group, Liberty Property Trust, The Center for Professional Innovation & Education Corporation (a global training provider), Cerner and Vishay Intertechnology are among the companies based in Malvern.
