(erielack) DL&W Place names

If you travel up the P & D branch from Summit to Gladstone there are a 
few interesting names.

New Providence-because of the accident in a church, formerly Turkey Town.
Murray Hill
Berkeley Heights
Gillette -    not for razor blades
Sterling      For Lord Sterling of the Revolutionary War
Millington
Lyons
Basking Ridge     First settlers found the deer sun bathing on a ridge.
Bernardsville
Mine Brook
Far Hills
Peapack
Gladstone   I doubt if it is for happy rocks.

 Any ideas on the rest?
