Phoenixville Mayor Peter Urscheler is proud to highlight the welcoming culture of the borough of roughly 20,000 people located in Chester County along the Schuylkill River. From its industrial roots, Phoenixville has transformed into a vibrant community known for breweries, entertainment, and unique festivals. Urscheler, who became mayor in 2018, describes the community as quirky, kind, and passionate, and emphasizes the care and support that residents show for each other.
Having moved to Phoenixville in 2006, Urscheler found solace in the community when caring for his aging parents, who have since passed away. He views his constituents as an extended family and values the sense of belonging and acceptance in Phoenixville. The community has experienced significant growth with new businesses, housing developments, and a surge in population over the past few decades.
Urscheler believes that Phoenixville’s rich history is often underestimated, with various connections to historical events and figures. From providing the wrought iron for the Washington Monument to being the final resting place of the songwriter of “The Bare Necessities,” Phoenixville has deep roots in American history.
Overall, Urscheler hopes that people outside of Phoenixville recognize the incredible people and unique charm of the community. With its blend of fun, quirkiness, and acceptance, Phoenixville stands out as a place where residents can truly be themselves and feel a sense of belonging.
