The name of the town means "Children's Corner" in the language of the original Dutch settlers (Kinderhoek). The name "Kinderhook" has its root in the landing of Henry Hudson in the area around present-day Stuyvesant, where he was greeted by Native Americans with many children. With the Dutch kind meaning "child" and hoek meaning "corner", it could be that the name refers to a bend (or "corner") in the river where the children are. The eighth president of the United States, Martin Van Buren, was born in Kinderhook and retired to it.

Nun singt ein neues Lied dem Herren
"Nun singt ein neues Lied dem Herren" (Now sing a new song to the Lord) is a Christian hymn with German text by Georg Thurmair. He based it on Psalm 98 and wrote it in 1967 to match a traditional 16th-century melody. The song is part of German hymnals, including Gotteslob, and songbooks.

Psalm 98
Psalm 98 is the 98th psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: "O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things". The Book of Psalms starts the third section of the Hebrew Bible, and, as such, is a book of the Christian Old Testament. In the slightly different numbering system in the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible, and in the Latin Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 97. In Latin, it is known as "Cantate Domino". The psalm is a hymn psalm, one of the Royal Psalms, praising God as the King of His people. Like Psalms 33 and 96, it calls for the singing of "a new song".

The psalm forms a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies. It has inspired hymns such as "Joy to the World" and "Nun singt ein neues Lied dem Herren", and has often been set to music, including by Claudio Monteverdi, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Dieterich Buxtehude and Antonín Dvořák who set it in Czech in his Biblical Songs.

Turag River
Turag River (Bengali: তুরাগ নদ; [t̪uraɡ nɔd̪]) is the upper tributary of the Buriganga, a major river in Bangladesh. The Turag originates from the Bangshi River, the latter an important tributary of the Dhaleshwari River, flows through Gazipur and joins the Buriganga at Mirpur in Dhaka District. It is navigable by boat all year round.

The Turag suffers from infilling along its banks, which restricts its flow. Sedimentation that reduces the flow may  have begun as early as the 1950 Assam–Tibet earthquake. It also suffers from acute water pollution. While attempts have been made to marginally widen the river, the majority of industry has made little effort to follow environmental laws and the water has become visibly discolored and polluted.

Bangshi River
The Bangshi (also spelt Bansi) (Bengali: বংশী নদী) is an important river in central Bangladesh. "Bangshi" in Bengali, the language spoken in Bangladesh where the Bangshi River is located, translates to "Flute", meaning the river's name likely refers to its gentle, melodic flow, similar to the sound of a flute. It originates in Jamalpur, from the course of the old Brahmaputra and flows past the Madhupur tract. It flows through Tangail and meets the Tongi in Ghazipur. It passes near Jatiyo Smriti Soudho in Savar and falls into the Dhaleshwari. About 238 kilometres (148 mi) long, it is not navigable for most of the year except when swelled by the monsoon rains. Louhajang River is a tributary of the Bangshi. Dhamrai on the banks of the Bangshi is famous for its muslin weaving.

Together with Coningsby (1844) and Sybil (1845) it forms a sequence sometimes called the Young England trilogy.
