Wallenpauck

Wallenpaupack is a Lenape name understood as “the stream of swift and slow water”, given to a waterway in the wooded uplands of northeastern Pennsylvania. At its falls, James Wilson acquired land in 1793 and established a mill for hemp and flax. A settlement grew around the enterprise and became known as Wilsonville. After Wilson's land was sold in 1804, the mill closed and the settlement declined.
