The Brandywine Creek has long been an important part of the history of the local area. The first native inhabitants of the area used the creek valley as part of their summer settlements and hunting and fishing areas. The waters of the creek were harnessed to run mills by the early Quaker settlers. The proximity of early colonial settlements, industry, and eventually a steam railroad contributed to the importance of the Brandywine Creek watershed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
