Origin of river's name

I'm deleting the unsigned edit claiming that the river was named after "British General James Wolf" (sic). In all of my research into the name's origin, I never came across this information. Plus, the British officer's surname was "Wolfe." Since he died winning Quebec from the French, it's possible that the Wolf River in Wisconsin was named after him. Spellings of rivers and towns can change over time, but the dude's name will always be Wolfe.

Mouth

I'm still a bit confused after reading this. So, the current mouth of the river is actually a canal dug? The river used to flow west, but then turned directly south to flow between Mud Island and the mainland? And, finally, that means that it was damned off at were it bent south? Any historic maps showing the course before it was manipulated? --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:42, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
