"The Hackensack" - a school yearbook from Warrensburg, NY (huh?)

You know about Hackensack, MN. You may even be familiar with New Hackensack, NY, near Poughkeepsie. But have you ever heard of Hackensack Mountain?

It's right by Warrensburg, NY. For some reason that I haven't researched yet, there are a lot of things in Warrensburg named Hackensack, including a Hackensack Avenue.............and even their high school yearbooks, some of which have an Oratam-like indian on the cover.

The seller has 10 of these for sale on eBay that cover every year from 1945-1955 except 1948. If you want to see the other ones, click the above link and then hit the seller's "See other items" link.

I don't expect that anyone here would have any interest in these............I just found it unusual that Warrensburg Jr-Sr School would call their yearbook, "The Hackensack" - a name inspired by a nearby mountain.

And why did they name the mountain "Hackensack" in the first place?
