Alternatively known as
Womans Hollow Creek, the creek's name is probably a loose translation of the
Spanish La Llorona, or "the weeping woman". According to legend, a woman who has recently given birth drowns her newborn in the river because the father of the child either does not want it, or leaves with a different woman. The woman then screams in anguish from drowning her child. After her death, her spirit then haunted the location of the drowning and wails in misery. The legend has many different variations. The creek is the subject of the song "River Called Woman Hollering" by the
Electric Boy Rangers. ==See also==
