History

The village was permanently settled circa 1811 and was originally called “Jacksonville” after Andrew Jackson. The name was changed to “Red Creek” in approximately 1836.

The name change was attributed to the creek which passes through its entirety. Originally, Big Red and Little Red Creeks were believed to be named from the waters color, which was tainted from passing over iron ore that richly runs throughout the water bed.

Local lore explains the origin of the name Red Creek. At one time, a tannery occupied the spot on the north side of the falls. As part of the tanning process, dye was used to tan skins. Dye was disposed of in the pond which then flowed over the dam’s falls, coloring it red.

The village was incorporated in 1852. In 1874, most of the business district was consumed by fire.
