As kids, we were always told it was because of the rattlesnakes on it or the shape. No one really seemed to know which for sure.
There is a rattlesnake in the Libby Museum that they say is from Rattlesnake. It might be, but when we were kids there were no rattlesnakes in the Museum until my uncle found one up on Rte. 171 in Tuftonboro and donated it to the museum. I remember us all gathering around to look at it. I believe the Museum may be incorrect in saying the snake there is from Rattlesnake Island.
