[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] newly established County of Hudson that broke off from Bergen County in 1840. By 1849, the population had risen sufficiently to warrant erection of Hoboken Township. Six years later, Hoboken became a city. The Stevens Institute of Technology named for the city’s developer today rests upon the rocky outcrop on the banks of the Hudson River still called the Hook of Hoboken at the north end of the City of Hoboken. HO-HO-KUS (Bergen County). Whritenour thinks that Ho-HoKus sounds similar to two Munsee words, *mehokhokwus, “red cedar,” and *hakhakwus, “little bottle gourd.” Today, Ho-Ho-Kus is the name of a borough and the brook that flows through it. The name first appeared in colonial records as Hochaos Brook in a deed confirmation dated August 8, 1696 (State of New Jersey 1880-1949 21:247). One of three known versions of another deed to land in the Beyond Manhattan, Robert S. Grumet area dated November 18, 1709, mentions the place where a creek the people of Hohokus Township, whose territorial extent along the upper reaches of Hohokus Brook had been much diminished by multiple defections of several other communities to neighboring jurisdictions, agreed to change its name to Mahwah (see below). KAWAMEEH (Union County). Kawameeh Park, built by the Union County Park Commission in 1940, is located in Union Township. The spelling of the name adopted for the park exactly reproduces the one used by a colonial scribe to identify one of the three Indians who signed the Elizabethtown Deed giving up their land in the area on October 24, 1664 (New Jersey Archives, Liber 1:1). Also noted as Cowescomen, Kawameeh later became more familiar to local settlers as Queramack, a sachem who participated in many land sales in and around the Raritan Valley between 1664 and 1684. KINDERKAMACK (Bergen County). Many writers regard Kinderkamack as a Dutch word having something to do with children at play. More than a few philologists, however, lean toward an Indian etymology of some sort. Whritenour suggests a possible Munsee derivation, *kundakamike, “praying grounds or enclosure.” Today’s Kinderkamack Road follows the course of an old wagon road that ran between River Edge and the New York–New Jersey state line at Montvale. A ten-mile-long stretch of Bergen County Route 503 conforms quite closely to the original route. The name first appeared in a license dated May 30, 1684, permitting purchase of “two hundred acres of land of the Indians at Kinderkamacke at Hackinsacke above the Mill” (State of New Jersey 1872:109). The name later appeared in the form of Kindakemeck in a will dated time when they represented one of the most readily recognizable landmarks in the region. The mostly level stretch of the stream that flows through the piedmont valley below the falls today is known as the Lamington River. This part of the stream runs from Pottersville past the hamlet of Lamington to the place where it flows KITTATINY (Sussex and Warren counties). Nora Thompson Dean into the North Branch of the Raritan at Burnt Mills. (in Kraft and Kraft 1985:45) thought that Kittatiny sounded like a Southern Unami word, kitahtëne, “big mountain.” Whritenour LOANTAKA (Morris County). Loantaka Brook rises in the city of thinks that a Munsee version of the Southern Unami word would Morristown. The stream flows south into Loantaka Pond in the 570be *kihtahtune. The word kehtuhtin, “big mountain,” appears in a acre Loantaka Brook Reservation. Passing beneath a bridge carrying nineteenth-century Munsee hymnbook (Wampum 1886).
