Official Website: Borough of Downingtown
Are you looking for information on Downingtown, PA? Here is an interesting bar bet fact. Once upon a time, the borough was known as Milltown. This was because of the large number of mills that, at one time, lined the East Branch Brandywine Creek. It was eventually named after Thomas Downing, a businessperson who owned several of those mills.
Today, thanks to the Victory Brewing Company, the town has become a major destination location for craft beer aficionados and ethicists.
