Did you know Shamong almost became Indian Mills? The name Shamong comes from the Lenape and is traditionally translated as “place of the horn.” In 1992, residents even voted on changing the township’s name!

@onthemarkshorelife.bsky.social@onthemarkshorelife.bsky.socialEver wonder how Indian Mills got its name? This Pine Barrens community was once known as Edgepillock and Brotherton, before its mills and Lenape community gave it the name we know today.
