About Red Creek, NY

The village was permanently settled around 1811 and was originally called "Jacksonville" after Andrew Jackson. The name was changed to "Red Creek" around 1836. The name change was attributed to the creek which passes through its entirety. Originally, Big Red and Little Red Creeks were believed to be named from the waters color, which was tainted from passing over iron ore that richly runs throughout the water bed. Both major and lesser creeks were originally fed from Mud Creek, which was later transformed into the Erie Canal.
