History

Swamp Creek historically powered several mills along its waters, with mills being built as early as 1736. By 1884, four gristmills and three sawmills were operating on the creek in New Hanover Township. One surviving mill, the Sunrise Mill, is owned by Montgomery County and is part of Sunrise Mill Park.[3]
