The neighborhood of Carrick was once part of a massive tract of land owned by John Ormsby that reached to the Monongahela River. Ormsby, a native of Ireland, received the land grant from King George III for his service in the French and Indian War. The name Carrick was not attached to the area until 1853, when a U.S. Post Office was opened there by Dr. John O'Brien and named after his hometown of Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland. Carrick citizens later gave their service in World War I.
