Cahoonzie Street

It was commonly conveyed that Cahoonzie Street and the nearby village were named after a Lenape chief. Anthropologist Robert S. Gumer, however, suggests that Cahoonzie was a corruption of Kehoonge, which was likely a Lenape place name. Despite the Cahoonshee Indians and their 7-foot tall chief being a work of fiction, the name Cahoonzie likely has its origin in a Lenape place name.
