History of Rainbow Creek

This name was originally applied in 1912 to a stream in the Chitina quadrangle which was thought to be a tributary of Quartz Creek, but which was later found to be the main head of Slate Creek. The name was reapplied in 1932 by Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to its present application.
