Marcus Hook
History

  
   In 1678, at Upland court, a record appears showing from Hans Ollsen to William Clayton a deed for all his land "right and interest of & to his houses and appurtenances Lying and being all Marretties hooke." In 1682, the ancient name of Marcus Hook was changed to Chicliester, but the popular name was so fixed in the public that it wouldn't accept the new name and in spite of legislation and executive power, the village kept the old name Marcus Hook. Marcus Hook rapidly grew in 1682, after the coming of Penn. It became a rival of Chester. The two towns were equal size and consisted of about one hundred houses in 1708.
