Tohickon

Tohickon Creek flows east through the hills of Pennsylvania to the Delaware River. Its name comes from the Lenape To-Hick-Hanne, or “deer-bone creek.” The stream cuts a steep valley through wooded ground before reaching the larger river. By the late eighteenth century settlers had built water-powered mills along its lower course; one gristmill was operated by Ralph Stover, who diverted the creek's water through a millrace.
