Stadtplan Tübingen 1903, Ausschnitt

Der ca. 900 m lange Neckar- oder Flutkanal wurde zwischen 1910 und 1912 bei der Neckarregulierung etwa 50 m südlich vom Neckar parallel zu diesem ausgegraben. Dadurch entstand zwischen dem Neckar und dem Kanal die Neckarinsel.

Vor dieser Zeit verlief hier bereits ein Graben zur Aufnahme von Hochwasser. Durch ihn wurde auch der Unterlauf des Mühlbachs geleitet (siehe Karte von 1903).

Der heute meist gebräuchliche Name Flutkanal entstand wahrscheinlich wegen des früheren Flutgrabens (?).
