Red Creek is a village in Wayne County, New York, United States.
The village was permanently settled circa 1811 and was originally called "Jacksonville" after Andrew Jackson.
Originally, Big Red and Little Red Creeks were believed to be named from the waters color, which was tainted from passing over iron ore that richly runs throughout the water bed.
Local lore explains the origin of the name Red Creek.
At one time, a tannery occupied the spot on the north side of the falls.
Dye was disposed of in the pond which then flowed over the dam's falls, coloring it red.
14.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 2.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
