Etymology

There are two names in local usage for the stream, Chickwollopy and Chickwolnepy, the latter of which is the official name. Both names derive from the Arosaguntacook dialect of the Abenaki language. "Chickwollopy" coming from the words chegual and aki, thus meaning "frog place" or "land where frogs dwell".[3] "Chickwolnepy" comes from the words chegual and nebe meaning "frog pond", a reference to it being the only brook in the area rising from a pond.[4]

Description
