The Village of Valley Forge is located on the west side of Valley Forge National Historical Park near the Schuylkill River. The remaining village is in Schuylkill Township of Chester County. Valley Forge is often referred to anywhere in the general vicinity of the park, and many places actually in King of Prussia, Trooper, Oaks, and other nearby communities will use the name, leading to some ambiguity on the actual location of the modern village. Valley Forge is known by travelers in the Philadelphia area as the westbound control city on Interstate 76 (the Schuylkill Expressway), as it is near where I-76 joins the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
