This week, I'm starting a new series on the Great Lakes starting with the most contentious name
Ontario is an indigenous word from the Huron-Wendat meaning variously "sparkling water" or "great lake". It has been in use since at least 1640 by the settlers and from people who lived here for over 1,000 years. Names matter
Rochester, the largest U.S. city on the shores of Lake Ontario, has a few issues with "Lake America"...

Crazy how fast they capitulated. Such a lot of nonsense. Thanks for starting this series!
