Wilmington Monthly Meeting was established in 1750 by Chester [Concord] Quarterly Meeting out of Kennett Monthly Meeting (PA). After the Hicksite Separation of 1827, there were two monthly meetings at Wilmington. The Hicksite, or West Street, meeting merged with the Orthodox, or Harrison Street, meeting in 1945, forming a united monthly meeting under the two Concord Quarterly Meetings. Wilmington is currently an active monthly meeting. This Fund Raising Committee was established in 1950 to finance a new addition to the meeting house.
