According to historian Gretta Gossett, "there is yet an alluvial plain along the river near Nile Creek which is often flooded in the spring and left with a layer of silt perhaps giving rise to the name for the Nile in Egypt."[4] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://geonames.usgs.gov|accessdate=2008-01-31|title=US Board on Geographic Names|publisher=United States Geological Survey|date=2007-10-25}} {{Yakima County, Washington}}{{Washington}}{{YakimaCountyWA-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://factfinder2.census.gov |publisher=United States Census Bureau |accessdate=2008-01-31 |title=American FactFinder |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130911234518/http://factfinder2.census.gov |archivedate=September 11, 2013 }} 3. ^{{cite gnis|1523659|Nile|2012-10-27}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/wanames/wpnv2.asp | title=Washington Place Names database | publisher=Tacoma Public Library | accessdate=October 27, 2012 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905051206/http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/wanames/wpnv2.asp | archivedate=September 5, 2012 | df= }} 4 : Unincorporated communities in Washington (state)|Unincorporated communities in Yakima County, Washington|Census-designated places in Washington (state)|Census-designated places in Yakima County, Washington |
