Excerpt from Historic Green Point: A Brief Account of the Beginning and Development of the Northerly Section of the Borough of Brooklyn, City of New York, Locally Known as Green Point

On the north Side of Green Point avenue, these salt meadows were drained by Whale creek, which in its course followed the general line of Humboldt street. This creek as well as Wyckoff's creek had many small tributaries and devious courses.

Bushwick creek was in the early days known as Nor man's kill. This creek, too, drained salt meadows. At high water the tide covered the meadows, forming a beau tiful miniature bay, but the retreating waters revealed an expanse of green sedge and brown mud flats. Through these wandered the two deep channels of the kill as well as numerous little meandering tributaries.
