Lake Chaubunagungamaug, also known as Webster Lake, is a lake in the town of Webster, Massachusetts, United States. It is located near the Connecticut border and has a surface area of 1,442 acres (5.84 km2).
The lake’s name comes from Nipmuc, an Algonquian language, and is said to mean, “Fishing Place at the Boundaries — Neutral Meeting Grounds”.

Well Pamela, thanks so much for the research. Why can’t things just be made simple in making up names etc.? Geez, I don’t know who made the name up, would love to know “what were they smoking?”
Bet most their mail is addressed to occupant.
Now whoever came up with a name like that? And what does the name mean? Any clues posters?

Algonquin Indians came up with the name. Who knows what they were smoking though….lol
I can’t criticize too much though….got Native American in my blood. Just not that tribe….so maybe I’m safe
I was thinking it must be in Wisconsin. They have some of the longest names I’ve ever seen.
Ruby, please read Pamela’s post. The lake is in Mass.
Phil, read my post again and understand … not disputing the location of the lake, merely making a comment!!
WoW!! Thats a mouthful!!! I probably could sneeze that name, but then again……..:^)
