Sound Church was one of the first Methodist Societies established in Sussex County, Delaware. Organized by Rev. Freeborn Garretson, "the traveling preacher" on April 3, 1779. In 1784 the original Sound Church was constructed at the top of a small stream that ran east along Derrickson Creek, known as the head of a sound, which resulted in the church's present name. The Church was in need of repair so the members agreed to relocate the place of worship to another site. The Sound Church is currently one mile east of Williamsville on Route 54. The Sound Cemetery is still at it's original location at the head of the sound east of Derrickson Creek.
