Benjamin Homan is said to have been the first European to set himself up in Narrowsburg in the early 1770s. Overlooking the narrowest and deepest spot on the river which the Lenni Lenape, the original stewards of this valley for countless generations, called Lenapewihittuck. Homan renamed the spot "Homan's Eddy" in honor of himself. That name didn't last. 

Narrowsburg today is a vital and growing community of long-time and newer residents, with numerous active businesses lining its main street. It is home to many environmental and arts related groups including the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.
