Nachpunk is the name of a swamp in the south-eastern portion of Wayne township, which is drained by the Nachpunk brook into the Singack River. In 1898 I was retained to draft an act of the Legislature, incorporating the Borough of Totowa, and the name of this brook was given to me as one of the points in the boundary. I had no recollection of ever meeting with the name, and assumed it to be Dutch, and so wrote it Naaktpunkt bare point in the Act. (Laws 1898, page 98.) This explanation is given for the benefit of some future student. While writing this note, I am informed by a native of Wayne township, seventy years old, that he always understood from the “old people” that Nachpunk and thus he pronounced the word, as in German or in Dutch was an Indian name. The swamp in question is about five miles southwest of the Paterson city hall. The mouth of the Saddle River, in which the Indian Nackpunk was interested, is about five miles southeast of the city hall. It is possible that the Indian referred to may have removed his wigwam from the Saddle river to the swamp, afterwards called Nachpunk, but it was not an attractive place for the location of even a wigwam. See also Machpunk, Nachpong, Nathpoencque, and Onagepunk, which are probably variants of the same name.
