FOUNDED: Jan. 1, 1934
ORIGIN OF BOROUGH: Robert McCrea purchased 354 acres of land in 1773. Possesion of the land passed to his brother William McCrea in 1807. William built a spacious farmhouse called "Dundee Farm." That land is the current address of Westinghouse Science & Technology. During the Revolutionary War, soldiers worshipped with local residents at Bullock Pens Church. Its name was changed to Beulah Church in 1804. The Chapel, designated a Historical Landmark, was built in 1837. The graves of thirty-five Revolutionary Was soldiers and thirty-four Civil War soldiers are in the cemetery behind the Chapel. A group of residents seceded from Wilkins Township and formed Churchill Borough on January 1, 1934.
