history
In what is now Carversville, Lenni Lenape Indians originally settled and called the area Aquetong the "many springs". Over 300 years ago, William Penn gave the land to James Harrison and Joseph Pike. James Harrison sold his 500 acre to Randall Blackshaw who divided it into 100 acre pieces.
The original name of the village was "Indian Village". Later the village was also called Mill Town, then Milton and from 1833 Carversville. Carver was the surname of the postmaster from that time.
In 1838 the first Christian church was founded and a Presbyterian church was added in 1872.
Today the local hotel "Carversville Inn" is an attraction for many travelers.
