Calneh (כַלְנֵה) was a city founded by Nimrod, mentioned three times in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 10:10, Isaiah 10:9, and Amos 6:2).
New York-Alki was the site of the first settlement in Seattle. Here on November 13, 1851 the first settlers arrived. Finding a site up the Sound more attractive most everyone moved to help found the City of Seattle.(Meany, p. 4).
Historical scholarship proposed candidate locations for the city of “Calneh”, but it is now considered most likely, in a suggestion going back to W.F. Albright (1944), that the word did not in origin refer to a city but has been corrupted from an expression meaning “all of them”.
