Default How did Cheesequake get its name?
Hi folks,

Does anyone out there know the origin of this curious place name?

Is it a corruption of Cheese Cake? Or a mispronunciation of a Native American word?

Thanks!!!

All you have to do is check Wikipedia:

Cheesequake is named for a Lenape Native American word, Cheseh-oh-ke, meaning "upland" or "upland village".
