History

According to A. H. Brooks, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), this stream "was prospected by some Italians who had been on Cleary Creek near Fairbanks; they named this creek after the other but spelled it phonetically not knowing the original spelling." The name was reported in 1910 by P. S. Smith, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
