The Bray Creek tributary used to be considered Sextons Creek proper, and what is now the main Sextons Creek used to be named its Right Fork.[2]

The eponymous postoffice was originally named Section Creek in error when established by postmaster Henry Clark on 1828-05-24.[3] This was rectified on 1843-03-15.[3]
