:''See also Winnacunnet (disambiguation).'' Winnecunnet Pond or Winneconnet Pond or Winnecunnett Pond, very often called Lake Winnecunnet or Lake Winneconnet or Lake Winnecunnett although it is a pond rather than a lake, is a body of water in Norton, Massachusetts, United States.〔() These spelling and naming variations occurs even in municipal publications and local newspapers. "Winneconnet Pond" and "Lake Winnecunnett" are the two most common versions. Locals tend to refer to it as a lake (as might be indicated by its area) rather than a pond (which it is because of its shallow depth).〕 The name also lends itself to the residential area around the pond. "Winnecunnett" (in its various spellings) may be an Algonquian word meaning "beautiful place in the pines".〔() The supposed translation of the name comes from "The Drama of Winnacunnet", a 1938 production concerning Hampton, New Hampshire. Note however that translations of Native American words from this period are often regarded as fanciful.〕 ==Location== Located on the east side of town (on the north side of I-495), Winneconnet Pond is fed by the Canoe River and Mulberry Meadow Brook (sometimes simply called "Mulberry Brook" and referred to in an 1890 document as "Leach's Stream"〔(Cape Cod History 1980 )〕). Winneconnet Pond feeds into a portion of the Mill River known as the "Snake River" before the Mill River feeds into the Taunton River. According to ''The Sun Chronicle'', at one time the town of Norton's "approximate gateways were Ulmer's Farm on Route 123 and a big turkey farm near Lake Winnecunnett."〔(The Sun Chronicle )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Winnecunnet Pond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
