Chester was established in 1896, but not incorporated until 1907. The town was established by East Liverpool, Ohio lawyer J.E. McDonald, and the name may be a transfer from Chester County, Pennsylvania or Chester, England, although its true origin is unknown. It was the home of Rock Springs Park, a small amusement park founded in 1897 by McDonald, home to various rides, a swimming pool, a lake, a small zoo, and live performances.
It closed in 1970 for the expansion of U.S. Route 30 through the area. The town grew in the early 20th century, led primarily by the pottery industry founded in nearby East Liverpool. The Taylor, Smith & Taylor Company was the leading manufacturer in Chester, employing over 800 people at one time. Another large employer was the steel manufacturing Chester Rolling Mill Company.
The Chester teapot, the town's main attraction, was purchased by Wilford Devon in 1938 and moved to Chester from Carnegie, Pennsylvania. It served as a barrel-shaped food stand with soft serve ice cream, hot dogs, and soft drinks until it was moved and remodeled to its current location in 1990 and has been featured in depictions of West Virginia, such as in the video game Fallout 76.
