- Evolution of Congregations: As public education became available, the Brandywine Manufacturer’s Sunday School evolved into four Christian congregations.
- Founding Years: In 1841, St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church was formed, followed by Mt. Salem Methodist Church in 1847 and Greenhill Presbyterian Church in 1851.
