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. Editor swiftwater@lenapedelawarehistory.net
