What is a former name for the river on which Guntersville, Alabama was founded?
Tennessee River The Tennessee River is the largest tributary of the Ohio River. It is approximately 652 mi long and is located in the southeastern United States in the Tennessee Valley. The river was once popularly known as the Cherokee River, among other names, as many of the Cherokee had their territory along its banks, especially in eastern Tennessee and northern Alabama. Its current name is derived from the Cherokee village "Tanasi".
Ecorse River The Ecorse River is an 18.8 mi river in southern Michigan. Because of its small size, it is often identified as Ecorse Creek. It flows through the Downriver section of Metro Detroit, and is a tributary of the Detroit River. The early French settlers named it the "Rivière aux Écorces" ("bark river"). The river was given this name because of a custom, of the local Native American tribe, of wrapping its dead in birch or elm bark, and burying them at the mouth of the river. The river has two branches, which meet at Council Point Park in the city of Lincoln Park, where Pontiac once held a council in 1763 before attacking Fort Detroit.
