Honey Brook is a borough in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population of the borough was 1,895 at the 2020 census. The borough is amongst Honey Brook Township, and both are referred to locally collectively as Honey Brook.

Honey Brook Township was on bad terms from Nantmeal Township in 1789. The owner of the surrounding property, Andrew Boyer, established a town mean for the village of Waynesburg (named in rave review of Revolutionary War general Mad Anthony Wayne) and began selling lots in June 1813. There is a description that this was over and done with by a schoolmaster named Stinson, but whatever of the comings and goings reference Boyer as the owner in imitation of no insinuation of Stinson, and there was nobody named Stinson in the Federal 1810 or 1920 census reports for Chester County. This “myth” seems to have originated in the 19th century.

The residents distorted the pronounce to Honey Brook in 1884. Honey Brook is an incorrect English translation of Nantmel, a village in Radnorshire, now allocation of Powys. The Welsh name Nantmel actually means ‘Maël’s valley’, Maël subconscious a tenth-century prince. Honey Brook was incorporated as a borough in 1891.

In 1884 the railroad from Philadelphia-Downingtown-Lancaster was completed and ran along the south side of Horseshoe Pike. The railroad caused a pain for the village: there was another Waynesburg in western Pennsylvania. The freight was visceral routed to the wrong stations, so the broadcast was distorted from Waynesburg to Honey Brook.
