History

Hinchman explains in his letter that the naming of Denville can be traced to a "den" of wild animals located in the swampy regions along the Denbrook and Rockaway River. 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. The animals would bask on a knoll that juts out into the meadows where they were hunted by the native Lenape. In 1988, as part of the town's 75th anniversary celebration, a time capsule was buried that contained "artifacts" from that era.

Native Lenape Native Americans of the United States Americans were known to travel the Minisink Trail for centuries before Europeans arrived in New Jersey. When Netherlands and England 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.
