Chocorua Redux: Revisionist History of a Name

Chocorua Redux: Revisionist History of a Name

While local legend, created by white colonists and their descendants, has it that Mount Chocorua was named for a Native American Chief Chocorua, historical evidence does not support the legend or the notion that the mountain is named for any person. Historian Mary Ellen Lepionka has written extensively about this, using historical evidence to debunk the myth, and etymology to speculate about where Chocorua may have gotten its name.

The view from the hill overlooking Chocorua Lake is iconic: from the historic barn downward to Little Chocorua Lake, past the Narrows Bridge, over Chocorua Lake and up to majestic Mount Chocorua. Each year thousands of photos are snapped of this beautiful view.
