[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] his name, sounded like a Delaware word meaning “the affable.” Delawares in Ohio gave the American Indian agent Colonel George Morgan the ceremonial name of Tamenend during the Revolutionary War. Citizens of the new American nation admiring qualities of amiability, honesty, and integrity attributed to the sachem, who they regarded as their country’s patron saint, established Saint Tammany Clubs in many communities. The widespread occurrence of the name in many states (see in Part 3) attests to the former popularity of the Tammany clubs. The most famous of these, Tammany Hall in New York City, ultimately came to represent the best and worst aspects of urban machine politics in the minds of Americans. TAPPAN (Bergen County). The southern portion of Lake Tappan, the Borough of Old Tappan, and several roads in northern Bergen below) to the north of Towaco formerly known as Ta Waughaw. It also may come from the 478-foot-high Towackhaw Mountain located just south of the hamlet. Both hills probably bear the name of the prominent colonial Indian interpreter and intermediary Towackhachi (other spellings include Towwecoo and Towekwa). Towackhachi was better known among settlers as Claes de Wilt or Claes the Indian. Like several other notable Indian diplomats in northern New Jersey, Towackhachi originally came from the east side of the Hudson River. Usually identified simply as Claes, Towackhachi played a major role in land sales and other negotiations on both sides of the lower Hudson between 1666 and 1714. Suggesting that Towaco sounds very much like a Munsee word, tuweekw, “mudpuppy,” Whritenour adds that the restricted range of the amphibian (also called a waterdog) in the mid-Hudson Valley provides further evidence supporting the possibility that Claes the Indian was originally from the area. The present-day hamlet of Towaco was referred to as Towagham as early as 1797. The locale was later renamed Whitehall for the station built there by the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad during the late 1800s. The railroad changed the station’s name to Towaco in 1905. Today, Towaco is a suburban same general route through the present-day communities of Prospect Park, Hawthorne, and Fair Lawn just north of the City of Paterson since colonial times. The name first appeared in a December 10, 1696, deed confirmation to land “on Pissack River below the mouth of Wachra Brook” (State of New Jersey 1880-1949 21:248). WALPACK (Sussex and Warren counties). Whritenour thinks it highly probable that *waalpeekw, “turn hole, i.e., whirlpool or water hole,” is a Munsee expression of the Delaware Indian word walpeek. Heckewelder (1834:375) translated the same word as “a turn hole, a deep and still place in a stream.” The distinctive Sshaped curve of Walpack Bend on the Delaware River has made it an easily recognized marker for the boundary lines of four counties from two states that meet at the locale (see Walpack in Pennsylvania North below). The name, first spelled Walpake in the earliest records chronicling its existence written in 1731, adorned colonial Beyond Manhattan, Robert S. Grumet terminus of the Montclair and Greenwood Railroad line extended to serve the ironworks in 1872. Midvale residents later joined with the people of neighboring Haskell to form the present-day Borough of Wanaque in 1918 (Wardell 2009:112). Beyond Manhattan, Robert S. Grumet WARINANCO (Union County). The namesake of Warinanco Park first opened by the Union County Park Commission in 1925 was one of the three sachems who signed the October 28, 1664, Elizabethtown deed to land in the area (State of New Jersey 1880-1949 1:15-16). The full name of this sachem appears elsewhere as Waerhinnis Couwee, a Hackensack Indian leader who participated in sales of land from Staten Island to central New Jersey between 1639 and 1677. WATCHUNG (Essex, Middlesex, Passaic, Somerset, and Union counties). Nora Thompson Dean (in Kraft and Kraft 1985:45) thought that the name Watchung resembled a Southern Unami word, ohchung, “hilly place.” Whritenour agrees, suggesting a Munsee cognate, wahchung, “in the hills.” The name presently adorns a substantial number of places in and around the Watchung Mountains that rise above coastal plain valleys drained by the Passaic, Rahway, and Raritan rivers. Watchung Mountain was first noted in the July 11, 1667, Indian deed to land at Newark (New Jersey Archives, Liber 1:270[69] on verso). Today, the name most notably graces the three parallel ranges of the Watchung Mountains, Watchung Township in Union County, and the 2,000-acre Watchung Reservation built as a flagship facility by the semi-autonomous public commission whose members began acquiring land for the park in 1921. The Watchung Reservation became one of several public recreational areas established on more than 4,000 acres purchased by 1930. The commission was dissolved in 1978 and its lands, increased to 6,700 acres, were placed under the direct management of Union County. WATNONG (Morris County). Whritenour thinks that Watnong sounds like a Munsee
