P lace-nomenclature. 



Champlain, Mount.— Proposed in 1901 (Bull. N.H.S. N.B. IV, 321) as an 

 alternative for Bald Mountain on the Kings-Queens Boundary — and 

 again in connection with the Champlain Tercentenary at St. John, 

 June 24, 1904 (St. John newspapers of June 23, 24). It first appears 

 upon White's map of 1906. 



Champlain, Village. — Name applied in July, 1905, at the suggestion of the 

 present author, to a hamlet of summer houses below St. Stephen, nearly 

 opposite De]Monts, in Calais. 



Charlo. — Little Charlcau in 1799 in Land Memorials. Charleau is said to be 

 a not uncommon Acadian form of Charles. 



Chatham. — According to tradition, as I learned from Mr. William Innes, of 

 Bartibog, through Rev. Father Morrissey, Chatham village received 

 its name in honour of the j^ounger Pitt, Earl of Chatham. The name 

 was suggested by Mr. Francis Peabody, a prominent resident, and 

 replaced the earlier name, The Spruce Tree, so-called for a great spruce 

 that stood on the present site of Ritchie's store on Water Street. 



Chenire, Lake. — See under Miscoii. 



Chiputneticook.— On Sproule's map of 1786 as Cheputnatecook. In Karris' 

 Field-book of 1797 survej- of the river as "River Chipiitnaficook (called 

 by the natives Vliihnifcool')," seeming to show that he took the former 

 from some other source (such as his instructions), and the latter 

 directly from the Indians. The Indian names of these lakes are dis- 

 cussed in Boundaries Monograph, 265. 



Clair. — P. 1900. So named from its principal village, which was named for 

 Peter Clair, a former prominent resident, whose descendants are nu- 

 merous in the vicinitj'. 



Clearwater. — One of the best of our descriptive place-names, occurring 

 several times. No doubt the name is suggested not so much by the 

 colour of the water in the stream itself, as by the striking contrast 

 of the clear water entering a more turbid stream, a feature I have 

 noticed on the Sevogle. In the same way, I think, the names Green 

 River, and Grog Brook (Upsalquitch) were suggested by the colour 

 contrast their waters present to those of the streams they enter. 



Cieuristic. — Chisostick on Sproule's map of 1786; and the same on D. Camp- 

 bell's of 1799. This form is nearer the original Indian (Kulloosisik) 

 than the modern form. 



Coldbrook. — Originally Colebrooke, a settlement established before 1843, and 

 named, no doubt, for the then Governor, Sir William Colebrooke. 



Colebrooke. — Former name of Grand Falls. An old newspaper item says 

 Colebrooke and Edmundston were named about the same time (1848), 

 one for the outgoing and the other for the incoming Governor. 



Cootes Hill, or Headline. — A Protestant Irish settlement, very likely named 

 for the Irish baronet of that name.
