Lambertville, with a population of around 4,000 is supposedly one of the smallest cities in the U.S. It is unclear what justifies its claim to be a city. In the U.K. by contrast, a place can only be called a city by royal proclamation and typically it would have a large population and a cathedral. Lambertville is really a village but it does have five active churches of different denominations dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, built before there were distractions like TV.
The area was originally settled by the Lenape, centered mainly in the Delaware River valley. The river’s name was Lenapewimittuk, meaning the largest river in this part of the country. The Lenape tribe lived in villages along the banks and tributaries. It is estimated that there were 10,000 to 12,000 tribe members living in 30 to 50 communities. The women farmed mainly corn, squash and beans, while the men hunted and fished (shad, when in season).
The location by the Delaware River is certainly an important reason for the original settlement. Water from the river was initially a major source of power. There were also a number locally available raw materials such as wood from the forests, grain from the bountiful countryside, coal from the earth and abundant stone from what became quarries.
During the Industrial Revolution era, industry flourished, including milling of grain and feed, as well as manufacture of silk, paper, rubber products and pottery.
In the 1830s, canals on both sides of the Delaware were built with great effort by mainly Irish immigrants, many of whom died of cholera. When the canals were completed, raw materials and merchandise were transported in long barges, pulled by mules walking along parallel towpaths. At one time, 3,000 mule-drawn boats plied the canals….

His hope, Sterling Street said as he was honored as retiring curator of the Nanticoke Indian Museum, is that the community always remembers what a treasure that repository is.
In his humble way, Street, standing beside his wife, Mary, on the grounds of the Millsboro-area museum, acknowledged supporters for their kind words and gifts during Nanticoke Heritage Day on Saturday, May 6.
“Thank you all for your kind words. It’s an honor to be honored,” Street said, recognizing family members including his daughters, Esa Street Perkins and Felicia Street, and quoting the Native American saying, “We are all related.”
Urie Ridgeway, tribal secretary of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribe and guest speaker, asked everyone to remove their hats and stand in a display of respect for Street, who worked at the museum for 13 years before announcing his retirement. Ridgeway then formed a line to shake Street’s hand or hug him.
“This is a special day for us,” said Bonnie Hall, past tribal council member and chairwoman of the Nanticoke Indian Commemoration Committee, as she addressed the crowd, gathered in a circle on the grass. Nearby, vendors sold bracelets, toys, T-shirts, Indian tacos, fry bread and other delicacies and crafts, and the museum was open for tours.
The building, once a school for American Indians, before integration into the public school system and transformation to a museum, was where Street welcomed guests from all over the world and built a positive collaboration with local and state government representatives, Hall said.
In her travels, she is regularly asked about Street, who has been instrumental in researching and teaching the history of the Nanticoke tribe, she said.

Have you watched the movie ‘Air’ on Prime yet? It’s the story about how Nike got Michael Jordan to sign with their company, and the creation of the first Air Jordan sneaker, it’s fascinating. So much that I want a pair of Nike Air Jordan 2’s again. I had a pair in 1986, but I threw them out. Our chance to redeem ourselves is coming to Connecticut in June.
I just received an update from Mohegan Sun that announced that a big sneaker convention called ‘The Sneakerhead Invasion’ is coming to the Earth Expo Center at Mohegan Sun on Sunday June 4, 2023. It’s being billed as Connecticut’s biggest sneaker convention, and with 125,000 square feet of space, Earth Expo has the room for plenty of vendors. What can you expect? Rare classics, 200+ vendors, streetwear and collectibles, and some hot new and upcoming releases to check out.
Tickets are interesting too, both General and VIP tickets will allow you to bring in sneakers into the event to try to sell or trade. The General Admission tickets goes for $30, and it allows you to bring up to 3 pairs of sneakers into the event to try to sell. VIP tickets are $40, and for the extra $10 you’ll be able to bring in as many sneakers that you can carry, through a special entry line. The promoters have also announced reduced ticket prices for high school students – $15 (With your school ID), and children under 10 with a parent will be admitted for free.
I’ve only kept one pair of sneakers longer than 5 years, so if you have much more patience and room than I do, you could walk out of Mohegan Sun with some money that didn’t come from a slot or table game.

Police Chief Graham Frank said he doesn’t yet have any leads, but thinks it’s likely “kids” who might also have done the same thing here and at another area in March of last year, but worse.
“We’re doing extra patrol checks,” he said, noting that the park is on the regular police patrol route.
One town resident, Daniel Alden, saw the graffiti when he went to the park Monday. He posted to Facebook that he is offering a $500 reward to anyone with information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible.
