Watch for opportunities to learn more about the
Mahoney Creek tributary of the Fox River, located in the southeast
quadrant of Batavia. Efforts are being developed to help improve
the water quality of Mahoney Creek and its tributary, and to educate
the neighboring community on being good stewards to this important
resource.
Mahoney Creek was apparently named after Daniel Mahoney. He is found
listed in the Kane County Gazeteer of 1867, which includes directories
from the various cities of Kane County. Mahoney's occupation is listed
as "teamster" and his home is listed as being on O'Connell Street. |
