Paint is named for Paint Creek, which flows through the borough. Paint Creek in turn was named in honor of the many artists who came easels in hand in the mid to late 19th century, to produce artworks featuring the Paint Creek waterfall and gorge.

A waterfall still can been found however, behind the local mosque, at the intersections of Route 56, Route 601 and the railroad bridge.
