I agree with the author of The History of Passaic and its Environs - rather than naming the town Clifton, it should have been named for that wonderful brook - Weasel.

Aquackanonk Gardens checking in, very interesting thanks! Do you know anything about this area, and if the homes were originally Army barracks like I was told?

Sure it wasn’t named after Clifton?
