Talk:Marin Creek

Name
I see someone removed the mention of the origin of the name for lack of a reference source. Well, it IS named for Marin Avenue as anyone who has lived in Berkeley for a long time knows, but yeah, no source comes up online. It seems pretty obvious, but okay. Let's find a source and be done with it. The creek had no apparent name on any old maps, and the street did not receive its name until the early 1900s when they named a bunch of streets in North Berkeley for California counties. The alternate name for Lower Marin---Village Creek---is a later common usage from the early 1940s when the village was constructed for WW2. Tmangray (talk) 00:02, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
