Located along the Mill Creek near Rushland was a settlement started by Italian immigrants, who came to the area as laborers when the railroad was being built in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Their community became known as Little Italy. By forcing its way through a rocky cliff, the railroad opened a major industry for Rushland, the stone quarry, an industry that continues to this day. The New Hope & Ivyland Railroad passes through Rushland on the former Reading New Hope Branch and the old depot still stands to day. The Vansant Farmhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
