[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] who signed the July 15, 1657, deed to Staten Island (Gehring 2003:141142). Three deeds to places in and near the City of Passaic signed between April 4, 1678, and April 9, 1679, used the names Aquickanucke, Haquequenunck, Aquenongue, and Aqueguonke to identify land in the area (Budke 1975a:47A-47E). Residents retained the name when they incorporated a part of that land as a township in 1693, only to abandon it in favor of Passaic, another Delaware name, when they adopted a city form of government in 1873. Popular during the nineteenth century, the name today survives on New Jersey maps as a neighborhood name in the City of Passaic and as the transfer name of a YMCA camp and its lake 30 miles farther northwest in Sussex County. ALLAMUCHY (Morris, Sussex, and Warren counties). Nora Thompson Dean (in Kraft and Kraft 1985:45) thought that Allamuchy most resembled a Southern Unami word, alemuching, “place of cocoons.” The Lenape Talking Dictionary lists allemuchink, “place where there are cocoons” (Lenape Language Preservation Project 2011). Whritenour thinks its earliest known spelling, Allamuch-Ahokking, closely resembles “at the land of cocoons.” Allamuchy presently is the name of several municipalities, a pond, a mountain (elevation 1,222 feet), an 8,683-acre state park (established in the 1960s), a state natural area, a Boy Scout camp, and a number of other places on both sides of the ridge that divides the Musconetcong and Pequest river drainages (see both in New Jersey Central in Part 1 below). In May 1715, surveyor John Reading, Jr. (1915:42) first noted the place, whose name he variously spelled as Allamuch-Ahokking and Allamucha, as an “Indian plantation upon a branch of Pequaessing [Pequest] river.” Few colonists center of the united province of New Jersey until rebelling colonists put an end to the arrangement in 1776. Much of the township of Perth Amboy established in 1693 was chartered as the City of Perth Amboy in 1718. Today, the name continues to adorn the city as well as neighboring South Amboy and many other places where the Raritan River flows into Raritan Bay. APSHAWA (Passaic County). Whritenour thinks that Apshawa sounds like *apchuw or *ahpchuwal, singular and plural forms of a Munsee word meaning “upon the mountain.” Apshawa Lake, Brook, and the unincorporated hamlet of Apshawa are located in West Milford Township. The name appeared in a survey return dated July 14, 1790, for land “situate[d] about one half mile from Pequonnock River on a brook called Andersons Brook on the southeast side of Apshawaw Mountain” (New Jersey Archives, East Jersey Board of Proprietors Papers, Patent Book B:1 and Survey Book S-8:454). Andersons Brook is now Apshawa Brook, a mile-long stream that flows south from the Butler Reservoir past the Passaic County Park Commission’s 576-acre Apshawa Preserve into the Pequannock River. river.

Today, the name graces the five-mile-long stretch of highlands that forms the north- GOFFLE (Passaic County).
