New Creek rises on New Creek Mountain in northern Grant County and flows generally northeastwardly through western Mineral County, past the community of New Creek. It joins the North Branch of the Potomac at the city of Keyser.

[edit] History

As part of a boundary dispute between Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron and the English Privy Council concerning the Northern Neck proprietorship, a complete survey of the territory was ordered. The exacting task of tracing the course of the Potomac River to its headspring was undertaken by William Mayo and Robert Brooke acting for the Crown, and Benjamin Winslow and John Savage acting for Lord Fairfax. During the expedition the group traveled upstream on the north bank of the North Branch Potomac River upon their return on the south bank of the river, they found a creek missed on the upstream trek. They made it on their map as "New Creek."
