Crouse Creek bears the name of Charles Crouse, an early rancher who settled at the stream's banks in 1880. However, the creek was previously known as Jimmie Reed Creek, named after a settler who built a cabin at the mouth of the stream in 1876.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z3Pqk9tazU4C&pg=PA97|title=Utah Place Names: A Comprehensive Guide to the Origins of Geographic Names: A Compilation|last=Van Cott|first=John W.|publisher=University of Utah Press|location=Salt Lake City|page=97|year=1990|accessdate=12 Feb 2018|isbn=978-0-87480-345-7|oclc=797284427}}
