In 1700 Robert Heath acquired 1000 acres of land from an original William Penn grant to Thomas Woolrich. As part of an agreement with Penn, Heath built a grist mill here on the north bank of Aquetong Creek. The mill was powered by the constant flow of water generated by the great springs. Mills continued to operate at this location for over two hundred years. The ruins of a grist mill and a cotton mill that was converted to silk mill still exist on the south bank of the creek. These mills and their workers were immortalized in several paintings by Robert Spencer in the early 1900's.
