Redbank Creek

… rises in N Forsyth County and flows NE into S Stokes County, where it enters Town Fork Creek. Called Oldfield Creek on the Collet map, 1770, and on subsequent maps through the Kerr map, 1882. Apparently, the soil survey map of 1913 was the first to use the present name. A Redbanks Church near the creek has been in existence since 1859.
