pure and simple, but evidently introduced to represent the sound of an Indian word. What that word was may, probably, be traced from the name given as that of the sachem, Aiironge (Treaty of 1645), which seems to be an apheresis of IV'scha-jd-won-ge, "On the hill side," or "On the side of a hill." (Zeisb.) Awonge, Auronge, Oranje, Orange, is an intelligible progression, and, in connection with "from Orange," indicates the location of a village or the side of a hill, which the chiefs represented. Succasunna, Morris County, N. J., is probably from Siikcit, "Black," and -aclisiln, "Stone," w^ith substantive verbal affix -ni. It seems to describe a place where there were black stones, but whether there are black stones there or not has not been ascertained. Aquackanonck, Aquenonga, Aquainnuck, etc.. is probably from Achquaiii'kan-ong, "Bushnet fishing place." Zeisberger wrote "Achqnanican, a fish dam." The locative was a point of land formed by a bend in Pasaeck River on the east side, now included in the City of Paterson. Jasper Bankers and Peter Sluyter wrote, in 1679-80: "Acquakenon : on one side is the kil, on the other is a small s'tream by which it (the point) is almost surrounded." The Dutch wrote here, Slooterdam, i. c. a dam with a gate or sluiceway in it, probably constructed of stone, the sluiceway being left open to enable shad to run up the stream, and closed by bushes to prevent their return to the sea. (Nelson.) Watchung (Wacht-unk, Del.) is from Wachtschu (Zeisb.), "Hill or mountain," and -unk, locative, "at" or "on." Wachtshunk, On the mountain" (Zeisb.) ; otherwise written Wakhunk. The original application was to a hill some twelve miles west of the Hudson. The first deed (1667) placed the boundmark of the tract "At the foot of the great mountain," and the second deed (1677) extended the limit "To the top of the mountain called Watchung." Achkinckeshacky; Hackinkcshacky, 1645 ^ Hackinghsa-ckin, Hackinkesack (1660); Hackensack (1685); Ackinsack, Hockquiri' dachque ; Hackquinsack, are early necord forms of the name of primary application to the stream now known as the Hackensack, from which it was extended to the adjacent district, to an Indian settlement, and to an Indian sachem, or, as Van Tienhoven wrote, "A certain savage chief, named Haickquinsacq."
