Red Creek

The village of Red Creek was permanently settled around 1811 and was originally called "Jacksonville" after Andrew Jackson. The name was changed to "Red Creek" around 1836.

The name change was attributed to the creek which passes through its entirety. Originally, Big Red and Little Red Creeks were believed to be named from the waters color, which was tainted from passing over iron ore that richly runs throughout the water bed. Both major and lesser creeks were originally fed from Mud Creek, which was later transformed into the Erie Canal.

The Red Creek Central School District is located on the shores of Lake Ontario in Eastern Wayne County and Northern Cayuga County. The district encompasses the hamlets of Martville and Victory and the villages of Red Creek and Fair Haven. The area is well known for its beautiful Lake Ontario sunsets, boating, year-round fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, golfing, and swimming.
