This article is about the creek that forms the border between Delaware County and Philadelphia. For the West Philadelphia neighborhood that takes its name, see Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia.
Cobbs Creek is an 11.8-mile-long (19.0 km)[1] tributary of Darby Creek in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It forms an approximate border between Montgomery County and Delaware County. After Cobbs Creek passes underneath Township Line Road (U.S. Route 1), it forms the border between Philadelphia County and Delaware County. It runs directly through the two sides of Mount Moriah Cemetery which spans the border of Southwest Philadelphia and Yeadon, Pennsylvania.[2] It later joins Darby Creek before flowing into the Delaware River.[3]
