'''West Creek''' is a [[tributary]] of [[Delaware Bay]] in [[Cape May County, New Jersey|Cape May County]], [[New Jersey]] in the [[United States]]. |
|||
The name "West Creek" is derived from the [[Lenape language|Lenape]] word "westeconk," meaning "place of fat meat." It rises in the swamps to the west of Halberton, in [[Maurice River Township]], and flows southward towards [[Belleplain State Forest]]. It was formerly dammed at Hoffman's Mill, but the pond is now drained. Southward, two dams still intact form '''Hands Millpond''' and '''Pickle Factory Pond'''. Below Pickle Factory Pond, it forms part of the boundary between Cape May and [[Cumberland County, New Jersey|Cumberland Counties]]. It enters the tidal marshes, passing along the west side of the [[Stipson Island]] peninsula, near the south end of which is located an old landing, and empties into the bay. |
|||
The village of West Creek derives its name from the creek. |
