The Lenape (len-ah-pay) or Lenni Lenape tribe, later called Delaware Indians by European settlers, lived in an area they called "lenapehoking", which meant "land of the lenape." Their land included all of what is now New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Southeastern New York State, Northern Delaware and a small part of Connecticut.
