They had the following to say about their pick:

New Jersey, being the Garden State, insists on pronouncing it as “GREEN-which.” And it’s not like there’s just one there in either. New Jersey has THREE towns that are known as “GREEN-which.” One is in Cumberland County, one in Gloucester (pronounced “GLAW-ster”) County, and one in Warren County. And if you ask them whether they care that New Yorkers have a “GREN-itch” Village, and that there’s a “GREN-itch, Connecticut,” you know what they’re gonna say? Fuggedaboudit.

It was named after Greenwich, England, which is pronounced "GREN-itch”.

The Greenwich Township in South Jersey is located in the westernmost township in Cumberland County and has a population of 771 as of the 2020 census.
