Many Mind Creek - Atlantic Highlands, NJ
Why Many mind?
Many Mind Creek is a natural waterway which receives rain water that drains from a large land area of Atlantic Highlands, NJ. When early Europeans arrived in the area in mid-1660s, they decided on flatlands along the west bank of the creek for settlement. Exploring the creek, they discovered its headwaters starts in the eastern hills, goes south for about 3/4 of a mile, turns west/north-northwest for around half-a-mile, and finally heads north for approximately half-a-mile before emptying into Sandy Hook Bay. So often does the creek change its mind about where to go that the colonists named it Many Mind Creek. The name Many Mind Consulting was chosen to embody the ever changing landscape of many technology firms and represent the constant desire to flow to something bigger.
