The Indian name of the stream was Ontelaunee, meaning "The little maid of t he big mother", the Schuylkill river being the big mother. The English set tlers translated it into Maiden Creek.

They were soon followed by Francis Par vin who settled three miles to the south of them at what is now Berkley a nd by Jacob Lightfoot who settled just across the Maiden Creek from the m. These were also followed by a number of other families, all English spe aking Friends, among them the Huttons, Willits, Wilys, Pearsons, Penroses, Wrights and Lees.
