The East Brandywine & Waynesburg Railroad was chartered on March 3, 1854, and between 1860 and 1869 the railroad was completed and in operation from Downingtown. On August 15, 1861, the train made its first run through Honey Brook, and on January 15, 1862, the railroad passenger and freight station was almost complete. On December 1, 1876, the railroad was leased to the Pennsylvania Railroad. On June 7, 1888, it was sold in foreclosure and reorganized as the Downingtown and Lancaster Railroad Company, and on August 1, 1888, operation began as the New Holland Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1884, the station name changed from Waynesburg to Honey Brook. The last scheduled passenger train stopped on December 27, 1930, and the last train wreck occurred just below Chestnut Street on May 10, 1973. In January 1974, Penn Central sold the train station to Honey Brook Borough for $1.00, and in November 1975 the old station was moved across Pequea Ave to its present site. In May 1979, the first Borough Council meeting was held in the former railroad station, and on May 2, 1981, Honey Brook Borough Hall was dedicated. In 2007, the building continued as Honey Brook Borough Hall, with Borough Council members William L. White, J. Todd Super, Michael Shuler, Barbara J. White, James Nixdorf, Marsha Kirschner, and Mayor Frances S. Jacobs.
