Description: 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 1442 acres. Since 1921, the lake has also been known by a much longer name having 45 letters comprising fourteen syllables: Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. The lake's name comes from Nipmuc, an Algonquian language, and is often said to mean, "Fishing Place at the Boundaries - Neutral Meeting Grounds." A map of 1795 showing the town of Dudley, and a 1795 map of Massachusetts indicated the name as "Chargoggagoggmanchoggagogg." A survey of the lake done in 1830 lists the name as "Chaubunagungamaugg," the older name.
