Pennypack Creek is a creek that runs southwest through eastern
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and the northeast section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, before emptying into the Delaware River. Originally known as Dublin Creek, the Pennypack was first surveyed by
Thomas Holme in 1687. The creek begins in two branches, one in Horsham Township, Pennsylvania, the other in Warminster Township, Pennsylvania, joining in
Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania. The creek then flows through Abington Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Lower Moreland Township, Pennsylvania, and
Northeast Philadelphia. The creek draws its name from the Lenape language word "pënëpèkw" meaning "downward-flowing water."
Pennypack Creek was once the site of several mills, but is no longer used for industrial purposes. It runs through
Pennypack Park in Philadelphia and Lorimer Park in Montgomery County.
Quotations
- Pennypack creek rises in Montgomery County, crosses the township line of the late Dublin township, and enters the Delaware near the town of Holmesburg.--Duffield's run and Ashton run, uniting with Wooden Bridge run, enter the Pennypack near Rowland's paint-factory.--Sandy run enters into it north of the Oxford and Dublin poor-house.--Comly's run and Welsh run flow into Paul's run, which joins the Pennypack below Verreeville. On Lindstrom's map this creek is called Pennishpaska, La Riviere de Pennicpacka; by Campanius, Pennishpacha Kyl. In early Swedish patents it is called Pemipacka. Holme calls it Dublin creek, whilst in later maps it is called Pennypack and Pennepack. Heckewelder says that Pennypack means "deep, dead water; water without much current."
