RE: (erielack) DL&W Place names

You gotta love Wikipedia:

"When Dutch and English settlers began to arrive in the new world in the early 17th century, the Minisink Trail was the likely route they traveled to explore the interior. Daniel Denton, one of the purchasers of what is known as the Elizabethtown Tract in 1664, led an expedition into the interior of northern New Jersey. In 1670 he wrote the first English language description of the area. Some researchers would later conclude that it was Denton who lent his name to the naming of Denville."
