This community was originally named for Joseph Sackett, who came here in 1730. It was called Sackett's Ford from 1750 to approximately 1800. Sackett built a grist mill store and blacksmith shop near Mill Creek where it joined the Neshaminy Creek. Some authorities claim that the name of the hamlet, first Rush Valley and later Rushland, was due to the availability of "scouring rushes" used by early settlers for cleaning pots and pans.
