Church Creek
Cambridge and Dorchester County

The Town of Church Creek was named after the Creek that bears its name which runs through the town and out to Fishing Creek.

The Creek, was apparently named "Church Creek"  because it meandered past the Old Trinity Church, built in 1675.  The Creek was a major "thoroughfare" in those days, water being the primary form of travel.
 

Old Trinity Church, located on Church Creek.

Church Creek was one of the first five towns to be established in Dorchester County by act of the Maryland Assembly. It was first named Dorchester Town in unfulfilled anticipation of its becoming the county seat. Then it was called White Haven for a time before gaining its present name. During the 18th century, the town was the county’s center of shipbuilding until the adjacent oak and pine forests became depleted.

Located five miles southwest of Cambridge in Dorchester County, Church Creek is bordered to the west by a creek that bears the same name and to the south by the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.
