History of Downingtown

The town was originally called “Milltown” thanks to the significant number of mills situated along the east branch of Brandywine Creek. The town got its present name around the time of the American Revolution when it was named after a Quaker immigrant, Thomas Downing who owned a number of the mills along the creek. The town officially became known as Downingtown in 1812. The first known home was built by Sami Warren in 1705. It has become known as the Downingtown Log House.

In 1988, pretzels sold out of a stall at the farmers market in Downingtown quickly became very popular. The stall was run by the founders of what is now known as Auntie Annie’s. Today, Auntie Annie’s is a global company with over 1000 stores and $375 million in sales each year.

Downingtown Parks and Recreation

The Struble Trail is a popular hiking and biking trail that goes from the Marsh Creek Reservoir through Downingtown and beyond. It is a mostly paved trail that offers great scenery and excellent connections to other paths in the area. It is both dog and bike friendly.

A fun destination for the whole family is the 1,705-acre Marsh Creek State Park. The park offers numerous rentals including kayaks, paddle boards, sunfish, bay-sailors, and even fishing gear. A large swimming pool complements the beautiful large lake. Marsh Lake offers great fishing and boating across its 535-acres. There are some swimming areas as well as areas for picnicking. No motorized boats are allowed on the lake, so it is a particularly serene and tranquil environment to spend a day.
