Purisima Creek is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data.

==History==
Purisima Creek runs through the historic Rancho La Purísima Concepción land grant, which was granted by Governor Alvarado in 1840 to Jose Gorgonio, an Indian living at Mission Santa Clara de Asís. In 1844 Gorgonio sold the one square league Rancho La Purísima Concepción to Juana Briones de Miranda (1804-1889), the daughter of Marcos Briones, who accompanied Junípero Serra in 1769. Gudde's "California Place Names" incorrectly asserted that there was no namesake for the land grant in Santa Clara County. Juana Briones sold about three quarters of her rancho in 1861 to Martin Murphy Jr. (1807-1884) of Sunnyvale, who had come to California with the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party in 1844.〔J. P. Munro-Fraser, 1881, ''History of Santa Clara County, California'', Alley, Bowen & Co, San Francisco〕〔( Biography of Martin Murphy, Jr. )〕
One of the founders of Hewlett-Packard, David Packard, lived on the upper watershed of Purisima Creek on a large apricot (''Prunus armeniaca'') orchard.
