Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Wed Oct 20 19:57:27 2010, in response to Re: Matawok Question (Re: LIRR Westbridge Station), posted by Joe V on Mon Jul 12 18:43:51 2010. There was a Matawok Land Company. That does, however, only delay the etymology question. There are four plausible possibilities:1) there was a place called Matawok; 2) "Matawok" means something in some Indian language or other (probably Lenape, but there's no knowing); 3) "Matawok" was made up to sound like an Indian word; 4) it's some sort of acronym. |
