Named for the river branch which runs along its northwest edge, Coolspring Presbyterian Church was established circa 1726. A warrant was issued by Governor Thomas Penn on August 22, 1737, for a tract of land where a Meeting House and burial ground had been established. In September 1787, the "United Presbyterian Congregations of Lewes, Collspring, and Indian River" were formally incorporated by the Delaware General Assembly. The present one-story frame church was constructed in 1854 and dedicated on January 14, 1855. Coolspring Presbyterian Church was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The adjoining cemetery features the graves of several Revolutionary War veterans, a member of the Continental Congress, a mid-19th-century member of the United States Congress, and other notable Sussex County, Delaware residents.
