Neshaminy Creek, named Nishambanach in 1671, is a 65.5 kilometer stream that runs entirely through Bucks County, Pennsylvania and has two springs, one was known at the time as the 'Giant Spring'.
Older names were written as Nishambanach (1671), Nichmink, Nishammis (1679), Nishmines (1680), Neshimineh (1682), Neshamineh (1686), Neshaminia (1688), Neshamenah (1702), and others. Neshaminy Creek is a 40.7-mile-long (65.5 km) stream that runs entirely through Bucks County, Pennsylvania, rising south of the borough of Chalfont, where its north and west branches join. The watershed of the Neshaminy Creek covers an area of approximately 236 square miles (610 km), 86 percent of which is located in Bucks County and 14 percent in Montgomery County. One was known at the time as the 'Great Spring' and the other much smaller about 300 feet (91 m) away and was said to have been near an old Indian trail. This may refer to two springs near a village of the Lenape, since native people drink from a spring whenever available rather than from a stream. The location of the springs is unknown, but may have been two springs extant many years ago, not far from the confluence of the north and west branches.
