Onoko (A peak). A Lenni Lenape word, applied to one of the peaks in the mountains near Mauch Chunk. A legend of these people speaks of a young chief of this name who resided near this place. He was of great strength and daring. It was Onoko’s fortune in war, the chase and love that he aroused the envy of Mitche Manitou. One day as Wenonah, the fairest maiden of the Tribe and Onoko were floating in their canoe on the lake Manitou arose among the mountains. He dealt a blow on the hills, made the earth shake and formed a chasm of a thousand feet in depth. Through it the waters of the lake poured and with it the canoe, clasping each other as they were hurled away to death. The memory of Onoko is preserved in the name of the glen and cascade in these mountains.
