Little Catawissa Creek is named for the fact that it is smaller than Catawissa Creek.

Little Catawissa Creek was historically stocked with trout from near the border between Columbia County and Schuylkill County downstream to the mouth of the creek.
The creek was surveyed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission nine times between 1939 and 1985.
The first survey was performed in 1936.
This was the first time that the creek was recommended for trout stocking.
The creek was also surveyed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission several times in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

A number of bridges have been built over Little Catawissa Creek.
A steel stringer bridge was built over the creek in 1914 and restored in 1939.
This bridge is 40.0 feet (12.2 m) long.
Another bridge was built over the creek in 1930.
It is a concrete arch bridge that is 60.0 feet (18.3 m) long.
In 1961, a prestressed box beam bridge was built across the creek.
This bridge is 47.9 feet (14.6 m) long.
A concrete slab bridge was built over the creek in 1973 and a prestressed box beam bridge was built over it in 1990.
These bridges are 30.8 feet (9.4 m) and 57.1 feet (17.4 m) long, respectively.

John Mourey constructed a sawmill and gristmill on Little Catawissa Creek 0.5 miles (0.80 km) west of Ringtown in 1853.
