The Rankokus Indian Reservation is a state recognized Indigenous reservation in Rancocas, New Jersey. The land was secured in 1974 by Roy Crazy Horse, founder and chief of the Powhatan Renape Nation. In 1982, New Jersey formally designated over 350 acres as a State Indian Reservation. The Nation received state recognition in 1980, reaffirmed in 2019.

In the late 1800s, Cherokee-Lenape families led by Isaac Revey Richardson and Elizabeth Susan Revey established themselves on about 15-20 acres in what became known locally as Sand Hill or Richardson Heights. The homestead at Springwood Avenue in Neptune was the center of family life, gatherings, and cultural continuity for generations of the Sand Hill Indians. The Richardsons and Reveys maintained land ownership, kinship ties, and traditions through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

An early Lenape settlement in the Monmouth County area tied to the Revey (also spelled Reavy, Rebee, Revy) family. The Reveys were Lenape-Delaware people present in the region as early as the late 1700s, documented on tax lists and property records. Over time, members of the Revey clan intermarried with the Richardson family, adding Cherokee heritage into the community identity. The resulting settlement around Sand Hill became known in local memory and genealogical sources as Reveytown or a Revey-centered domain, functioning as a locus of Indigenous life, property, and community well into the twentieth century.
