Nippersink Creek, 1929
The
Nippersink Creek enters Greenwood Township and passes under the bridge
at
Queen Anne's Road.
Legend has it that many of the mounds in the area are the actual
burial sites of Native American members of the Potawatomi tribe.
Back then the creek curved towards the north and east, flowing through a large
valley before passing under Barnard Mill Road.
In 1929, E.R. Jacobson, leader of a real estate development group, purchased
properties in and around the large glen where Nippersink meandered to the
northeast. A dam was built between the two hills, a 1000 feet apart,
and Nippersink began to form what is now Wonder Lake.
