History
Root Creek was a hamlet in Sections 21–22 and 27–28 of the Town of Greenfield in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, United States, on the Milwaukee-Janesville plank road, at what is now roughly the intersection of that thoroughfare and 68th Street. The body of water after which it was named is nowadays referred to as the Root River.
