2024 Fishawack

A Cultural Heritage Festival

http://www.nj.com/static/common/img/blank.gifWhy Fishawack?

Fishawack was the Lenni Lenape Native American name for the Passaic River and Chatham was located at the narrowest part making it the “Crossing of the Fishawack in the Valley of the Great Watchung”, according to John T. Cunningham’s book, “Chatham at the Crossing of the Fishawack”. Each year the tribes forded the river in Chatham en-route to their summer “get-away” at the Jersey shore where they spent the summer in warmer climates and eating all the fish they could catch.
