Name[edit]

This article says that the town was named after Howard Ashley Pedrick (1863–1941), who built a railway line in Suriname. If so, you will find his biography in:

More likely "Pedricktown was named after Roger Pedrick, who bought a large tract of land here from John Fenwick in 1674, before he arrived in New Jersey."--NearEMPTiness (talk) 05:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
