Why do the railway refer to the Essex station as "Walton on Naze". Surley it is "Walton on THE Naze"?

I used to go there, but never really used the in the name. It could be that it was what I was told it is, but will have to ask my family.
I have a mate who has a caravan there and he never uses the 'the' in the name. He always says Walton-on-Naze.
Like Southend I suppose, three stations being Central, East and Victoria. I would just say Southend for either line.
