Their territory also extended along the Mahicanituk, or Hudson River, northward to the Neperhan, or Saw- Mill River, and eastward to the Aquehung, or Bronx River. Between the Neperhan and the Pocantico were the Weckquaesgeeks. The Sint Sinks occupied the land between the Pocantico and the Kitchawan, or Croton River. North of the Croton were the Kitchawancs, whose lands extended to Anthony's Nose and the Highlands, and eastward across the northern portion of Westchester County. East of the Manhattans, occupying the territory along the

Sound, were the Siwanoys, who also occupied the southwestern i)ortion of Connecticut. North of the Siwanoys were the Tankitekes, occupying the central and ea.stern portions of the county. The western end of Long Island was occupied by the Canarsees. The Rockaways, Merricks, Marsapequas, Matinecocks, Corchangs, Manhassets, Secatogues, Patchogues, Shinnecocks and Montauks extended eastward, in the order named. West of the Hudson were the Navesinks, Raritans, Hackinsacks, Tappans and Haverstraws. Above the Highlands, upon the eastern side of the river, were the Nochpeens and the Wappitigers. Eastward, in Connecticut, was the large chieftaincy of the Sequins.

That the Indians of Westchester were very numerous is proven by the fact that over fifteen hundred warriors were at one time in arms against the whites, and also by the number of their large villages. These villages were located where there were special advantages for fishing, or where a light and easilyworked soil was favorable for cultivation.

The Manhattans had three villages upon Manhattan Island. Their largest village in this county was Nappeckamak, which occupied the site of the present city of Yonkers. At the southern end of the original township of Yonkers, overlooking the Hudson River (Mahicanituk) and Spuyten Duyvil Creek (Papirinimen,) they had a fortress which they called Nipinichsen.
