The Stansbury family built the gristmill in 1798 and the mill was named Stansbury Mill. The mill was owned by the Stansbury family throughout most of the 1800’s. From 1883-1894, the mill was operated as Anderson’s Mill, after owner George L. Anderson. In 1896, a deed to the property referred to the mill as Eden Mills. It is believed that the mill was named after Sir Robert Eden, the last royal governor of Maryland.
