What's in a Name?
Cuckold's Creek is a curious name for a stream. Many people have asked about the origin. It is assumed that someone who lived nearby was "cuckolded", but as to who the cuckolder and the cuckoldee may have been is an unknown. The name may even be a corruption of another word such as "Cockle's Creek" but that isn't near as interesting!
Maps and engineering documents from the mid 1700's indicate the name "Cuckold's Creek" even then, when the vast network of rice plantations was being laid out.
With dozens of historic plantations, indian wars, colonial drama and Revolutionary War battles nearby, one doesn't have to wander far in his mind to know that there was probably one heck of a good story in there somewhere.
Oh, here Rob [The Journalist] and Sean [The Sherriff's Deputy] paddle past a creekside cabin.
