Killbuck Creek rises in northern Wayne County and initially flows in a counter-clockwise loop northward into southern Medina County and past the town of Burbank before turning to a southward course through Wayne, Holmes and Coshocton Counties to its mouth at the Walhonding River,[3] 5 mi (8 km) west of the city of Coshocton.[1] Along its course it flows to the west of the city of Wooster and passes the towns of Holmesville, Millersburg and Killbuck.[3] NameKillbuck Creek and the town of Killbuck are named for the Shawnee war chief Bemino (fl. 1710s–1780s) — known as John Killbuck, Sr, to the whites.[4] According to the Geographic Names Information System, the stream has been known and spelled variously over the years:[5]
The United States Board on Geographic Names settled on "Killbuck Creek" as the stream's name in 1963. See also
