From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manatawny Creek is an 18.2-mile-long (29.3 km)[1] tributary of the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania in the United States.[2]
The name of the creek comes from the Lenape (or Delaware Indian) term Man'en'tau'wata'wik. Some early sources state that the term translates to "where we drank liquor",[3] but later sources disagree with that interpretation, putting the meaning closer to "here we drink" or "drink-at-uninhabited-place," without reference to liquor.[4][5][6]
The tributary Ironstone Creek joins the Manatawny at Pine Forge. Manatawny Creek is formed by the confluence of Bieber Creek and Pine Creek just below Lobachsville.
Manatawny Creek joins the Schuylkill River at Pottstown in Montgomery County.[2]
