Webster, MA

Webster Lake is famous for an extraordinarily long alternate name that has become a Massachusetts roadside and linguistic curiosity. The famous spelling is modern and its supposed translation is often repeated inaccurately, but the giant name itself has become the attraction.

Filed under folklore: stories a place tells about itself, passed down and still repeated.
