8 Rushing Ketchikan Creek in Ketchikan, Alaska

Ketchikan, Alaska, is believed to be named after the salmon-filled Ketchikan Creek that flows for six miles before gushing through the historic part of town. It is derived from the language of the indigenous Tlingit people who are a tribe of hunter-gathers that have populated Alaska for over 10,000 years ago. They call this city Kichxáan and the creek Kitschkhin.
