History of Murder Creek
For some history... Murder Creek origins go way back to 1788- just after the Revolutionary War. Colonel Kirkland and his party were on their way to Pensacola, Florida. Unfortunately, they never arrived at their destination. Due to the silver in their pockets, Kirkland’s party was ambushed and murdered. Only one of the three outlaws was captured for this crime, and paid the final price... After these bloody circumstances, the little creek which had been named Aloochahatcha, became known as Murder Creek.
