Calno Cemetery

This week we are off too NJ… discovering the Calno Cemetery. I wanted to highlight someone from there. Calno Cemetery along Old Mine Road, in what was Pahaquarry Township, Warren, New Jersey.  A little about Pahaquarry Township it is now-defunct Township that was located in Warren County, New Jersey. What happened you ask?  Pahaquarry Township was formed on December 27, 1824, from portions of Walpack Township in Sussex County and set off to Warren County. The township got its name from the word Pahaquarra, which was a derivation of the Native American word Pahaqualong, which meant "the place between the mountains beside the waters".Pahaquarry sits on the Delaware River. Most of its land was purchased by the federal government during the late 1960s in order to build the proposed Tocks Island Dam along the river, and its population was reduced to only a handful of people. Grassroot environmental organizations and mass local opposition put a halt to these plans and the dam was never completed. Most of the land became part of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The project was officially deauthorized by Congress during 1992. On July 2, 1997, Pahaquarry Township, whose population had dwindled to fewer than a dozen people, was dissolved and incorporated into Hardwick Township
