Underground Railroad in Pumpkin Hook!

[L Verge]

Laurie,They told me that "Hook"comes from the top of the pumkin.The hamlet was first called "New Salem".

Laurie-Here is the actual legend of Pumpkin Hook-A man bought a load of pumkins to take home,but he was tired.While sleeping-Teenagers,came and "Hooked"[stole] the pumpkins-Thus Pumkin Hook!

Well, leave it to me to turn something simple like the top of the pumpkin into a word derivation problem.
