HistoryOriginally named by Daniel Foster in 1885. In 1886 the name was changed by Frederick Barney to Sand Bar Creek. For many years the creek was also known locally as Knudson Creek, for Thomas Knudson, who it is said was the first (1905) Alaskan homesteader to secure title to his ground. The name Duck Creek reappeared on a map by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1912 and it has been in use since then (DeArmond, 1957, p. 16).
