The name "Swago"

The name "Swago" is a shortened version of the name "Oswego". Oswego is a city in New York, and it is believed that the name "Swago" was given to the stream in West Virginia by settlers who came from Oswego.

The name "Swago Creek" was first recorded in 1868, and it is likely that the name was in use for some time before that.

The name "Swago" is also used for a community in West Virginia, which is located near the stream. The community of Swago was founded in the early 1900s, and it is a small, rural community.
