Think spelling "Winnipesaukee" is difficult?
WEBSTER, Mass. – Officials have agreed to correct spelling errors in road signs pointing to a central Massachusetts lake with a 45-letter name. Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster has one of the world's longest place names. It's been spelled many different ways over the years. Some locals have given up and simply call it Lake Webster.

BTW, I have been told this indian name interprests to
'You fish on your side, I fish on my side, Nobody fishes in the middle' ! Not sure how true this is, probably more local lore. |
