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?”
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”.

I was thinking it must be in Wisconsin. They have some of the longest names I’ve ever seen.

Phil, read my post again and understand … not disputing the location of the lake, merely making a comment!!

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 😛
