[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] River and its branches flow from the City of Morristown past the hamlet of Whippany in Hanover Township. There, the main stem of the Whippany River forms the border between East Hanover and Parsippany-Troy Hills (see above) townships as it flows east to its junction with the Rockaway River (see above) just one mile from the place where the Rockaway’s waters fall into the Passaic River at Hatfield Swamp. WEEQUAHIC (Essex County). Whritenour thinks that Weequahic sounds much like a Munsee word, wihkweek, “that which is the end of something (i.e., the head of a stream).” Weequahic Lake is located in Newark’s 311-acre Weequahic Park. The name comes from Weequachick, the “great creek” that marked the south bounds of the July 11, 1667, Indian deed to Newark (New Jersey Archives, Liber WYANOKIE. See WANAQUE 1:270[69] on verso). Colonists called the stream Branch Brook. The broad, flat fields of the Waverly Fairgrounds that opened at the lo- YANTACAW (Essex and Passaic counties). Whritenour thinks that cale in 1866 made it an ideal site for state fairs and horse races. Yantacaw sounds like a Munsee expression, yu wandakw, “here this 54 Beyond Manhattan, Robert S. Grumet way.” Today, Yantacaw is the name of a brook, a river, a pond, a park, several streets, and a number of other places in and around edge cities north and west of Newark. A stream first identified as the Yauntakah River was mentioned in the July 11, 1667, Newark Yantacaw River, also known as the Third River, rises at the Great Notch Reservoir near the Passaic County seat of Paterson. The stream then flows south past Little Falls into Essex County, where it is joined at Montclair by the one-mile-long Yantacaw Brook. The river then passes through Glen Ridge and Bloomfield townships as it flows to the place where it falls into the Passaic River at Nutley. YAW PAW (Bergen County). Whritenour thinks that Yaw Paw sounds like a Munsee word, *yaapeewi, “on the edge of the water.” Yawpaw was first mentioned as Japough, another of the abovementioned five parcels along the Ramapo River (see above) sold by the Indians on October 10, 1700 (Budke 1975a:77-78). Japough and Yawpaw were two of many spellings that colonists may have used to identify Tatapagh, an Esopus and Minisink leader (see above) who took part in land sales on both sides of the New York-New Jersey line between 1683 and 1715. Yaw Paw still appears on presentday maps as the name of a Boy Scout camp located in the Ramapo Mountains near Oakland. Beyond Manhattan, Robert S. Grumet 55 NEW JERSEY CENTRAL ALEXAUKEN (Hunterdon County). Nora Thompson Dean (in Kraft and Kraft 1985:45) identified Alexauken as a Southern Unami word, alàxhàking, “barren land.” Whritenour thinks Alexauken sounds very much like a Munsee word, *eeliikwsahkiing, “in the land of ants.” Alexauken Creek is a seven-mile-long piedmont stream that flows into the Delaware River just north of the City of Lambertville. Alexauken was first identified as Hockin Creek in an April 16, 1701, entry for a survey of 3,000 acres of West Jersey Society land “near Wishilimensey” (State of New Jersey 1880-1949 21:388). An “Indian path leading from Itshilominwing unto Noshaning” near “a small brook or run having its rise or first spring the road paralleling that stream, and the 690-acre State Wildlife Management Area acquired in 2001 to regulate development on protected land on the West Amwell side of the creek. for falls). The earliest mention of Assunpink as a creek occurred in the October 10, 1677, deed to land south of the middle and upper reaches of “Sent Pinck Creek, at the falls” (New Jersey Archives, Liber B:1-4). In New York, a different, much smaller, and long-forgotten “creek called Assinipink” sharing the same etymology was also mentioned flowing into the Hudson River from the east bank of the Hudson Highlands just north of the present-day Bear Mountain Bridge in an Indian deed to land in the area dated July 13, 1683 (Budke 1975a:53-55). Similar-looking words from different Algonquian languages include Assiniboin and Assinika (in Bright 2004:51). CAKEPOULIN (Hunterdon County). Cakepoulin Creek flows for seven miles through a narrow piedmont valley from the stream’s headwaters to its junction with the South Branch of the Raritan River two miles below Clinton Township. The name was first mentioned as “a branch of Raritan River called Capooauling,” in the November 11, 1703, deed to a tract of land between the South Branch of the Raritan and the Delaware River (New Jersey Archives, Liber AAA:434-435). Indians may have used the short, level stretch of land between the head of Cakepoulin Creek and the uppermost reach of Neshisakawick Creek (see below) as a portage route when traveling between the Raritan and Delaware valleys. A version of the early spelling of the word has recently been
