In 1934, Chester Preparative Meeting (Hicksite) became the new Chester Monthly Meeting at the dissolution of the original Chester Monthly Meeting (Hicksite). In 1948, this monthly meeting merged with the Twenty-Fourth Street Monthly Meeting --formerly Chester Preparative Meeting (Orthodox)-- to form Chester United Monthly Meeting of Friends under the two Concord Quarterly Meetings.
