                                             LENAPE-DELAWARE PLACE NAMES


There are many Lenape-Delaware place names in our history. The reader is often perplexed where such a place is in relation to a present-day location. We will add such names as I come across them. Unless otherwise stated, the first name is the Lenape-Delaware name, and the second name is the present English place name. If you have any that you would like to add, let me know.
