Singac (pronounced SING-ack[11]) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Little Falls, in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[12][13][14][15] As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP's population was 3,618.[16]
The name Singac is believed to be an interpretation of the Lenape words meaning "backbone of mountain"[17][18] or that it may originate from the Lenape term schinghacki meaning "flat country" or from schingask meaning "boggy meadow", which alludes to how the area floods after a storm.[19]

"Singack - A neighborhood about five miles southwest of Paterson; it is commonly called by the old people, 'The Singack.' The name is from schinghacki, a flat country, whence is derived schingask, a boggy meadow. The name given to this neighborhood describes it accurately; it is a flat country along the Passaic river and is frequently overflowed in times of freshet."
