Christiana Hundred is just a sub-division of land and currently has little meaning beyond what school district you're in. I've heard that it was the area where a hundred men could be mustered for militia and also, an area of tax revenue. Neither is significant.
The area would have been part of the lower counties of Pennsylvania at the time you mention.
