dbo:abstract
  • Tin Brook ist ein Zufluss zum Wallkill River, der fast vollständig innerhalb der Town of Montgomery im Orange County von New York in den Vereinigten Staaten verläuft. In der Nähe seiner Mündung fließt das Gewässer durch das . Der Tin Brook ist einer der wenigen Zuflüsse des Wallkill Rivers, der das Tiefland zwischen dem Fluss und dem Hudson River im Osten entwässert und nicht in der westlich gelegenen Shawangunk Ridge seinen Ursprung hat. Die Herkunft des Namens, der bereits 1774 auf Landkarten erschien, ist nicht eindeutig geklärt. Die wahrscheinlichste Erklärung deutet auf einen frühen Landbesitzer am Mittellauf des Gewässers hin, dessen Name womöglich John Tinne, Thinne oder vielleicht sogar John Tinbrook war. Eine andere Theorie besagt, dass der Name des Wasserlaufes auf die niederländischen Siedler zurückgeht, welche die ersten europäischen Bewohner im Hudson Valley waren. Demnach erkundete einer dieser Siedler das Gebiet südlich des heutigen und fand heraus, dass der Boden um den Wasserlauf herum zu dünn war, um die Form Ackerbau zu betreiben, den die Siedler gewohnt waren.

  • Tin Brook is a 9-mile-long (14 km) tributary of the Wallkill River almost entirely located in the town of Montgomery in Orange County, New York, United States, where it drains 19.2 square miles (50 km2). Near its mouth it flows through the village of Walden. It is one of the few named tributaries of the Wallkill that drain into it from the lowlands between it and the Hudson River to the east, rather than the Shawangunk Ridge to the west. Several possible origins have been proposed for the name, which appeared on local maps as early as 1774. The most likely points to an early landowner along the midlands of the stream variously named John Tinne, Thinne or even John Tinbrook. Another theory suggests that it was named by the Dutch settlers who were the first European inhabitants of the Hudson Valley and that it comes from the words meaning "thin breeches" in that language. Supposedly one of them had reconnoitered south from New Paltz and found the soils around the brook to be thin, or insufficiently deep for the kind of farming they preferred. (en)
