Esopus Creek
The creek , originally known by the Native Americans in the area as "Atkarkaton" or "Atkankarten" and by Dutch settlers as the "Esopus Kill" , takes its name from the Esopus tribe of the Lenape , who were living around the lower Esopus when the Dutch first explored and settled the Hudson Valley in the early 17th century .
