4.2-mile-long (6.8 km) tributary of Darby Creek in Radnor Township and
Haverford Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Darby Creek is a
tributary of the Delaware River. The village of Ithan along the creek
was the first European settlement in modern-day Radnor Township in the
seventeenth century. The Muckinipattis then proceeds past the
Primos-Secane swim club in Upper Darby Township. Further downstream it
flows under the former A&P parking lot in Secane before forming the
border of Darby and Ridley townships. It empties into Darby Creek
between the shores of Montgomery Park in the borough of Folcroft and the
historic Morton House in Norwood. The name "Muckinipates" is a
Lenni-Lenape word meaning "deep running water". The Otter and Turtle
tribes within the Leni Lenape nation hunted, lived along the creek and
had a small village on what today is Montgomery Park in Folcroft
