When did the name change from Broughton to Effingham? Was Broughton the name of the town only, or was Effingham County also called Broughton? Does anybody know when the churches of Teutopolis and Green Creek were built? Does anybody have a link to a website where I can get pictures of the old churches? I also would like a link to a map that shows the location of Green Creek. Apparently it is not an incorporated town, because I cannot find it through Mapquest or Expedia.

In 1854, at the time when the first buildings were being erected in Broughton (now Effingham),

The cornerstone for St. Francis (then called St. Peter) in Teutopolis was laid in 1853. The Green Creek parish was founded in 1858. The cornerstone was laid in 1860 and it was consecrated in 1864 by Bishop Juncker. Dorothy Brumleve Alice Harman wrote: > > When did the name change from Broughton to Effingham?
