Tippecanoe Creek is named after the Battle of Tippecanoe, which took place nearby in 1811. The battle was fought between American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison and Native American warriors associated with Shawnee leader Tecumseh. The name "Tippecanoe" is derived from a Shawnee word, which is often interpreted to mean "place of the great river" or "the place where the river flows." The creek itself became associated with this historical event, leading to its naming.
