History.
Jacalitos Creek, originally known as El Arroyo de Jacelitos, it was the location of watering places on El Camino Viejo, between Los Gatos Creek to the north and Zapato Chino Creek to the south. Jacalitos is derived from a Spanish word, jacal, meaning a hut with a thatched roof and walls consisting of thin stakes driven into the ground close together and plastered with mud. Modified with the ending -ito, gives it the meaning "little huts".
