Nayack
The Nyack Tract or Nyack Patent (also spelled Nayack or Najack) was a Lenapehoking settlement to the east of The Narrows in the vicinity of modern Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, New York City.
Its Canarsee leader was Mattano, who may have been involved with the 1626 "purchase" of Manhattan by Peter Minuit. Later, Mattano and his people were coerced to part with their land by Cornelis van Werkhoven and Jacques Cortelyou in 1652 after Kieft's War, and it became part of New Utrecht.
A remnant of the Lenape population persisted until the late 17th century under English rule, maintaining a longhouse and paying rent to Cortelyou to occupy a fraction of their former land. "Nyack Point" remained a neighborhood name until the early 19th century and the American coastal fortification.
