The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The Town of Christiana was created from the Town of Albion on May 6, 1847.

Freeborn Sweet was the first settler of the Town of Albion, migrating from Oneida County, New York in August 1841. Other settlers began arriving that fall. In 1842, the first inhabitants in what would become the hamlet of Albion arrived, and the following year they organized a Seventh Day Baptist Church, which became a prominent institution in the community.
