Name That Stream!
This small stream flows through the Reamstown Park. It start in East Cocalico Heights development, flows under East Church Street, past the East Cocalico Township pool, through the Reamstown Park, under the baseball field and then flows into Stony Run east of South Reamstown Road, behind the Fire Department.
This stream does not appear to have ever been officially named. It is possible to have an official name given to any previously unnamed geographic feature. Would you like to be the person to name it? Submit your thoughts on possible names to:
I will periodically list the suggested names here (if they are appropriate...) and you can vote on them. IF there is enough interest, we can start the process to have the stream officially named by the United States Board on Geographic Names. Their web site gives details on the naming process. Be creative. Be original. Have fun!
