  • Esquatak is an Indian name meaning "the fireplace of the nation,"

so called because the council-seat of the famed Mohican Indians was located in the Town of Schodack. https://esquatak.org/ [Abenaki skudek = “at the fire” – skweda-al = “fire-s” – Skwedaigok = “The place of the fires”]

– 1628 Mohawks drove Mohicans west (1675

buried the hatchet, Wappingers joined)

– King Philip's War (1675-6)
