Mill Creek is a creek in Tulare County, California. It is a tributary of the Kaweah River. It is one of the four main creeks that flow through the city of Visalia.〔(USC Digital Library - Map of Visalia and Tulare County )〕 ==History== Mill Creek was named after Dr. Mathew's grist mill.〔Annie R. Mitchell, Land of the Tules: The Early Years of Tulare County, Interesting Facts About Our County (Fresno, California: 1972): 78.〕 In 1910, Mill Creek, was lined with cement and covered. Roads and buildings were constructed over it and about one-third of a mile of Mill Creek flows below the surface today. The lining and covering of Mill Creek was predicted by some to be the answer to the flooding problem, but flooding continued.〔Terry L. Ommen, Then & Now: Visalia, Stately Statues and Delightful Diversions, (Charleston, South Carolina: 2008):23.〕 The city of Visalia was built on the banks of Mill Creek. Today, part of the creek that flows through Downtown is underground, enclosed by a concrete conduit.〔(Historic Mill Creek: A Look Below the Surface )〕〔(City Looks to Restore Creeks, Build Trails )〕 There are plans to resurface the creek.〔(Downtown Visalia - Just Add Water )〕〔http://www.valleyvoicenewspaper.com/vv/stories/2006/resurfacing.htm Flood of Support for Resurfacing Mill Creek Public, Private Sector Leaders: Plan Could Put Visalia 'On the Map’〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mill Creek (Tulare County)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
