 | | On August 18, 1932, flood waters of Frankford Creek cut a channel through land of American Pile Fabric Co. north of dam and west of Wingohocking Street. In a flood on July 2 and 3, 1933, fifteen feet of the dam across Frankford Creek west of Wingohocking Street failed. |
 | | A newspaper article about the plan features a drawing of the creek, with the caption, A snake that will be straightened out. (400Kb) The first part of the plan to be completed, in 1949, was the removal of the horseshoe bend in Juniata Park. |
 | | A series of newspaper articles in 1899 highlighted the increasing unsanitary condition of Frankford and Little Tacony Creeks, by reason of the extension of branch sewers in Frankford that emptied their sewage into these creeks; and while the public was promised some solution, no work was yet undertaken. |
