History
Napanoch is from the Munsee dialect of the northern Lenape, and is thought to mean land overflowed by water. http://www.correctionhistory.org/easternny100/html/rrstation.html It is from the original deed to that area. Old Route 209 and Main Street follow the Minisink Trail, the Lenape path between the Hudson and Delaware Rivers. Louis Bevier, the New Paltz patentee, bought the area for two of his sons, Jean Bevier and Abram Bevier in 1705 or 1706.Demographics
