History

Kutcha-Kutchin Indian name reported by I B C (1914, sh. 9) and, according to O. W. Geist, University of Alaska, means "old woman." The creek was so called because "an old native woman at Rampart House couldn't climb the steep river banks for wood, so she used this creek as a route to obtain firewood, hence, Old Woman Creek."
