The longest name of a place in America is Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, or Lake Chaubunagungamaug for short, in Webster, MA, on the border with Connecticut.
Its name comes from the Nipmuc, an Algonquin language. It means "Fishing Place at the Boundaries-- Neutral Meeting Place."
The name is apparently misspelled on a sign bordering Connecticut.
This is because folks from Connecticut hate literacy. We all know this.
