1 mile == 2.2 kilometers. Someone should probably fix this page as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.78.216.40 (talk • contribs)

Name
What is the derivation of the name? Does it have anything to do with the Indian emperor Ashoka?128.122.94.34 (talk) 15:28, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The name means place of fish in a Native American language (Iroquoian, by one source); see The World's Greatest Aqueduct: Water From The Catskill Mountains To The City Of New York for some details. AHMartin (talk) 20:46, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I've found another source that says that "Sho-kan' was sometimes written Ashokan, and is now a village in Olive. It was called Shokaken in the Marhletown records of 1677, and was often mentioned. It may be derived from chogan, a black-bird, or sokan, to cross the creek, the last being preferable." -- Gaurav (talk) 21:25, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
