Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is a lake in the town of Webster, Massachusetts, located near the Connecticut border. It is often cited as the longest place name in the United States and one of the longest in the world.

The name comes from the language of the local Nipmuc people. The lake was an important fishing spot on the borders of several tribal territories. Algonquian speaking peoples had several different names for the lake as recorded on old maps and historical records. However, all of these were similar in part and had almost the same translation. The translation of the name of the lake is believed to be, "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fish in the middle".

Well, that's fine for the lead and trail, but what about the center?

The Nipmuc tribe used two-person mechanics. That's all they had back then.
