Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Valley Creek defines the Great Valley of eastern Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. The creek is a tributary of the Schuylkill River. Around 1740 a forge was erected along the Valley Creek near its confluence with the Schuylkill. This gave rise to the community of Valley Forge. Later the creek powered a saw mill and grist mill there. In 1777, the forge and mills were destroyed by the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. In December of 1777, George Washington chose Valley Forge as the site for the winter encampment of the Continental Army partly because Valley Creek and the Schuylkill River formed natural defensive barriers for the rear of the camp. Washington''s Headquarters during this period was in a farmhouse close to the confluence. The American forces departed in the spring of 1778.
