Darby Creek (Pennsylvania)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darby Creek is a creek in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It rises approximately 750 feet (200 meters) southwest of the intersection of Darby Road and Interstate 476 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and it empties into the Delaware River 2 miles (3 km) from the Philadelphia city line, near Philadelphia International Airport. The total length of the creek is approximately 14 miles (23 km).

For a brief stretch in its lower course, the creek coincides with the city limits of Philadelphia when it joins with Cobbs Creek and the mouth of the creek forms the eastern property line of a helicopter factory operated by Boeing.
