Negro Run (New Jersey)

Negro Run is a tributary of Doctors Creek in Monmouth County, New Jersey, in the United States.[1]

Several proposals to change the name have failed, even though the name might have been intended to honor fugitive slaves who passed through the area on the Underground Railroad.[2]
