Rawhide Creek took its name from the enterprise of R. J. West, born in 1811, an 1845 settler and an organizer of Dallas County in 1846. West had a tanyard about 4/10 mile southwest on this creek about 1846, and to meet demand, half-cured hides came from his vats, giving the creek the name "Rawhide." The historical park was established in 1969.
