“China Creek (Wilbarger County, Texas)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The creek runs from Harrold for twelve miles, all the way down to the Red River.^[1]

History

The creek was first known as "Moore's Creek" by an employee of the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railroad.^[1] It was renamed "China Creek" for the chinaberry that grew on its banks.^[1] It was also described by early Texas settler Richard Boren.^[2]

By 1879, the creek was flowing through the Waggoner Ranch established by Daniel Waggoner. This section was managed by his son, William Thomas Waggoner.^[3] W.T. Waggoner sold this section of their ranch to developers in 1903.^[4]
