H-New-Jersey is open to anyone with an interest in the history of New Jersey, including but not limited to academic researchers, teachers, students, archivists, historic site staff, volunteers, genealogists, archeologists, historic preservationists, and just plain history buffs. H-New Jersey is sponsored by the New Jersey Historical Commission as a service to the state's history community.
Not a direct answer, but a couple of stories behind the name for places in PA and NY with the same appelation, from 19th century workks digitized in Google Books. I was hoping to find something there from one of the old County History books. Maybe I can get to the hard copies a little later.

Always crowdsourcing, and a big fan of the scholars in this group and their knowledge. After the launch of the 90th anniversary of the National Park Service's Morristown National Historical Park, I was amazed to hear that there is no clear understanding of the origins and name "Jockey Hollow."
I've crowdsourced the question to the internet via a story https://www.mrlocalhistory.org/what-is-a-jockey-hollow/
