Oops-- i remembered the dutch haarlem had 2 a's--just got them in the wrong place (it was late)
and yes, all the kill's are waterways (stream, etc) or located (if town/city's on streems (Fishkill and Peekskill are city's on the hudson river at places were streams join this river)
the Great Kills is a stream in the marsh lands of Staten Island (there is a great kills harbor too)
Dutch kills (a neighborhood in western queens is one of the few that doesn't have a waterway. the kill was "improved" out of existance! --dutch kills is near the Newton creek, and van Dam Avenue in queens..(a largely, but not entirely, industrial wharehouse area.)
we also, now that i think of it, have some dorps.. New Dorp comes to mind (dorp --a small town or settlement.)(also in Staten Island)
(in the movie, 39 Steps, (an alfred hitchcock movie) a character says he comes from "a one shay dorp" (he is a visitor from South Africa)-- a shay is a kind of carriage (a fancy horse drawn carriage), and a dorp, a small town--
how small? today we would say "blink and you miss it" or "only big enough to have 1 traffic signal(or light)", but a town only small enough for there to be only one fancy carriage is pretty small.
is dorp still used in the netherlands?
