>From "History of the Oranges in Essex County, NJ from 1666 to 1606" by Stephen Wickes, M.D. pg 23 Canoe Brook was located at the intersection of what is now Northfield Road and S. Livingston Ave in (I believe) West Orange. The name was later changed to Northfield. I checked Mapquest for Northfield and, although I have ridden through this intersection many times in my life I never knew it by that name.
