Creek Town also known as Obio Oko is a town located in the present-day Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River state of Nigeria.[1] Creek Town is known for its historical and cultural significance in the region.[2] It is situated about 8 miles (13 km) Northeast from Duke Town.[3] Creek Town was one of the city-states that made up the Old Calabar region prior to the August 1, 1904 declaration which annulled the use of the name "Old Calabar" and changed the regional name to simply "Calabar".[4][5]
