Cobbs Creek, Brook in Darby Township, United States
Cobbs Creek extends for 11.8 miles through Delaware County, forming natural boundaries between Montgomery County, Delaware County, and Philadelphia County.
The area around Cobbs Creek was originally inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans, who named it Karakung, referencing the wild geese population.
The waterway passes through Mount Moriah Cemetery, connecting different communities while serving as a geographical marker between Southwest Philadelphia and Yeadon.
The creek functions as a critical water management system, collecting various tributaries including Naylors Run, Indian Creek, Thomas Run Creek, and Paschall Creek.
Governor Johan Printz established Pennsylvania's first water mill along this creek in 1645, marking a significant point in the region's industrial development.
