On May 21, 1754 Colonel George Washington and a small party were sent to the junction of the Youghiogheny River, the Casselman River and the Laurel Hill Creek to survey the area. An Indian guide told him to notice the way the three bodies of water joined together to form the shape of a turkey's foot. Thus the name of the area originated in this manner. The name Turkeyfoot still remains the name of this beautiful valley.

The above picture and information are part of the, yet "unnamed", new park in Confluence near the Youghiogheny bike bridge.
