Notes

• Church Creek is a town in Dorchester County, Maryland, United States. Church Creek is about 6 mi south of Cambridge. Old Trinity Church, the oldest church building in the US in continuous use, an Episcopal/Anglican brick church built in 1675, is located here.
• The exact origins of Church Creek remain unclear. Popular tradition maintains that Church Creek predates Cambridge, Maryland as the earliest settlement in Dorchester County, and was first established at some point before 1684 under the name Dorchester Town and then White Haven. However the accuracy of this claim has been disputed by historian Elias Jones, who found no indication of land sales in the area before 1700 in County Land Records. Both the town and river of Church Creek derive their name from the nearby Episcopal church, now known as Old Trinity Church, built c. 1675. In 1867, Church Creek officially became the forty-second Incorporated town in Maryland, and remains one of the one-hundred and twenty-three such towns today.
