History


Cooks Run is named after Arthur Cooke, a large landowner in Bucks County in the late 17th century. The stream supplied power for three mills, Hisand's near Doylestown, Godshalk's in New Britain, and Landis' near its mouth at the Neshaminy once known as Kepharts and Godshalks Dam.[1]


Statistics


Cooks Run meets the Neshaminy Creek at its 38.10 river mile, and drains a watershed of 3.32 square miles (8.6 km2). The Geographic Name Information System I.D. is 1172392,[2] U.S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey I.D. is 02776.[3] The Cooks Run watershed, which is approximately 3.3 square miles in size, is located in central Bucks County. Cooks Run flows in a southwesterly direction and discharges into the Neshaminy Creek, which in turn flows into the Delaware River. Currently, Cooks Run is classified as Warmwater Fishery (WWF), MF (Migratory Fishery) under PA DEP's Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards. Both the Neshaminy Creek and Cooks Run are listed on the State's 303(d) List of Impaired Waters.
