Thread Name: Pronunciation of Piscataqua
Subject: RE: Pronunciation of Piscataqua
There is a town in New Jersey named Piscataway, hard by the mighty Raritan River and next to New Brunswick, home of Rutgers Univ.

The Lenni-Lenape were the original inhabitants of this area and I believe the name comes from them. Interesting how the name appears in two areas somewhat far apart.
