[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] into the June 5, 1665, Indian deed (Municipal Archives of New York City, Gravesend Town Records:74) to land at Navesink. Residents referred to their community as Waycake until Thomas Tanner erected a pier at the creek mouth that was subsequently known as Tanner’s Landing. Area tradition holds that local farmers bringing grain to be ground at Philips Mill located on banks of the creek started calling the place Granville sometime during the 1820s. Community residents finally adopted the name Keansburg in 1884 in honor of the prominent Kean family. Growth stimulated by an upsurge in tourism and fishing fueled the transition of Keansburg from a village into a formally constituted borough in 1917. Today, the names of Waackaack Creek and Waackaack Light, a navigation beacon located at the stream’s mouth, adorn prominent places in the Borough of Keansburg. WANAMASSA (Monmouth County). Wanamassa was first mentioned as one of the three sachems who signed over land at the head of Deal Lake on April 6, 1687 (New Jersey Archives, Liber D:147149). The name was resurrected and given to a YMCA camp located in the current Wanamassa community just west of Asbury Park in 1892. Use of the name adopted to adorn the camp and a nearby bungalow colony and hotel ultimately extended to include the entire present-day Wanamassa neighborhood in modern-day Ocean Township. WESICKAMAN (Burlington County). Six-mile-long Wesickaman Creek flows from its headwaters two miles below the former site of the Brotherton Reservation at present-day Indian Mills (see 1880-1949 21:148, 300). The current name of the hamlet of West Creek is an anglicized form of Westecunk. Colonial-era references to a different stream known as West Brook or Two Mile Creek near the City of Elizabeth far to the north in Union County refer to a stream bearing a wholly unrelated English name. WHINGSON. See MOHINGSON WICKAPECKO (Monmouth County). Whritenour thinks that Wickapecko sounds like a Munsee word, *wihkupeekw, “the end of the pond.” Today, Wickapecko is a relatively recently revived name given to a pond and a street in the hamlet of Wanamassa (see above) near Asbury Park. The name first appeared in an April 6, 1687, Indian deed to land in the area “within the branches of a great pond called by the Indians Whekaquecko” (New Jersey Archives, Liber D:147-148). The Delaware place name Wiccopee (see in New York above) shares similar etymological origins with Wickapecko. WICKATUNK (Monmouth County). Nora Thompson Dean (in Kraft and Kraft 1985:45) suggested the translation “finishing place or end of a place (i.e., a trail),” based on a Southern Unami word, wikwètung, rendered as wikwètunk, “the finishing or ending place (like the end of a trail)” in the Lenape Talking Dictionary (Lenape Language Preservation Project 2011). Whritenour thinks that Wickatunk sounds like the Northern Unami words wikhattenk, “neighborhood,” and wickatink, “place of the leg or legs.” Wickatunk presently is the name of a small community in Marlboro Township. The place was first noted as Weakatong in an Indian deed to land in the area dated June 5, 1665 (Municipal Archives of the City of New York, Gravesend Town Records:74). Colonists knew the area as a center of Indian settlement. Discussions among the East Jersey Board of Proprietors in 1685 concerning acquisition of what they called the 36,000-acre Wickatunck Tract resulted in its subsequent purchase on February 25, 1686 (New Jersey Archives, Liber A:264). The purchase, which included abbreviated form of the name adorns Kiamensi Road and the Kiamensi Gardens and Kiamensi Heights neighborhoods in the City of ALAPOCAS (New Castle County). Whritenour thinks that Wilmington along Red Clay Creek, a stream known to Swedish Alapocas sounds like the Southern Unami word àlapòkwës, “swift colonists as Rödlers Kihl. fox.” The name first appeared as Alapockas Run in an October 25, 1680, survey return for land purchased from Indians on the west MINQUA (New Castle County). This variant of Mingo, from bank of Brandywine Creek opposite the mouth of the stream mengwe, “glans penis” (Brinton and Anthony 1888:81), a word that (Anonymous 1904 2:507).

The name has also been resurrected in Delaware to adorn the the Wilmington city line. Places bearing the run’s name include 145- Minquadale and East Minquadale communities. acre Alapocas Run State Park, the recently designated Alapocas Woods Natural Area located in a section of the park first acquired
