Aquahung
edit"Aquahung"?! Can we get a citation for this please?Shoreranger 23:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, I've never heard of this name, plus it seems like a pretty huge coincidence that Native Americans would have used "aqua", a Latin word for water, when naming a river before they met any Europeans. Onlynone 17:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- I thought the same, but [NYTimes page], among many other online sources, seems to support its use. I'm thinking that instead of seeing it as aqua + hung, to hear it like the word quahog, for example. Mang (talk) 20:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Either the article is incorrect in that its uses the spelling aque; or the mural in the Bronx County Courthouse is wrong, in that it uses Aqua.

Current event?
editEh? Events are always happening everywhere. Bronx, Mississippi River, Lake Baikal, whatever. That doesn't mean every geographical article carries a current event flag. Jim.henderson 21:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Ecology
editIn February 2007 biologists with the Wildlife Conservation Society, which operates the Zoo, spotted a beaver (Castor canadensis) in the river. "There has not been a sighting of a beaver lodge or a beaver in New York City for over 200 years.
--> Beaver (Castor canadensis) were found in NYC in 2003 at Mariner's Marsh Park, Staten Island, NY, by Nathanael McVay and Alexander Summers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.242.103 (talk) 19:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
