The lives of our fellow men here briefly recorded show that history ispliilosophy teaching by example ; and may the Christian work, so often notedin these pages, encourage efforts to hand down religion and learning to thosewho are to dwell in Germantown in future years.” During over 325 years of its history Germantown was home to numerous notable residents, and today many historic structures remain. Germantown was founded by Dutch settlers, augmented with a smaller number of people from present-day Germany, in 1681. Most were Quakers who came over in response to the appeal of William Penn. Germantown (whose original name seems to have been lost) remained almost exclusively Dutch until the beginning of the eighteenth century. Only then did German immigration gain momentum, and soon dominated the area. When Philadelphia was occupied by the British during the American Revolutionary War, several units were housed in Germantown. In the Battle of Germantown, in 1777, the Continental Army attacked this garrison. During the battle, a party of citizens fired on the British troops, as they marched up the Avenue, and mortally wounded British Brigadier General Agnew. For a time after the war, George Washington rented the Deshler-Morris House in Germantown to escape the central city and the yellow fever epidemic of 1793. The first bank of the United States was also located here during his administration.
