Garlic Creek is located in north Hays County near Buda, Texas. Its headwaters are near the intersection of Ranch to Market Road 967 and Farm to Market Road 1626. It is a tributary to Onion Creek, which is a tributary of the Colorado River which empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Garlic Creek was originally named Labinski Branch for one of the first settlers in Hays County, Texas. Victor Labenski built a log cabin on the banks of what is now called Garlic Creek in 1855.
Famous quotes containing the words garlic and/or creek:
“As a rule they will refuse even to sample a foreign dish, they regard such things as garlic and olive oil with disgust, life is unliveable to them unless they have tea and puddings.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
