Tappan tribe
The Tappan were a Lenape people who inhabited the region radiating from Hudson Palisades and New York – New Jersey Highlands in at the time of European colonialization in the 17th century.〔http://www.ramapoughlenapenation.org/wp-docs/Timeline2013.pdf〕
==Etymology==
The exonym ''Tappan'' is likely a derivation of a word or phrase from the Algonquian language Lenape as used by settlers to New Netherland, who spelled it as Tappaen.〔http://www.tappantown.org〕 It is not certain what the Tappan called themselves, but there are a variety of interpretations for the word. One suggestion is that it possibly comes from ''tuphanne'' meaning ''cold water''.〔Old Tappan is the name given to the region and its inhabitants by New Netherlanders from the 1687 patent: "…a Cartaine trackt of Landt named ould tappan as ye same is bounded by trees marked by ye indians." Tappan, from the Lenni Lenape word Tuphanne (reputed to mean cold water)〕 It related to contemporary ''petapan'' meaning ''dawn'' or ''petapaniui'' meaning ''at the break of dawn'',〔http://www.gilwell.com/lenape/s.htm〕 and relates to their kin across the river, the Wappinger, whose name is derived from the Algonquian ''people of the east'' or ''easterners''. (Contemporary: ''Wapaneu'' meaning ''easterly'' and ''Wapanke'' meaning ''tomorrow.'')
Vriessendael, one of the first "bouweries", or homesteads, built in the territory was sometimes called Tappan.
The Tappan are recalled throughout their former territory: Lake Tappan is a reservoir on the Hackensack River; the Tappan Zee, widening of the Hudson River and the bridge crossing it; Old Tappan in Bergen County; Tappan in Rockland County.
