Pawtucket Falls (Massachusetts)
Pawtucket Falls is a waterfall on the Merrimack River at Lowell, Massachusetts. The waterfall and rapids below it drop a total of 32 feet in a little under a mile, and was an important fishing ground for the Pennacook Indians in pre-colonial times. Etymology ''Pawtucket'' is an Algonkian word meaning "at the falls in the river (tidal stream)". Use as boundary This location was used as a benchmark for delineating the Northern boundary of Massachusetts, which was frequently disputed between the Province of Massachusetts Bay and the Province of New Hampshire. The issue was finally resolved in 1740, when it was decreed that the boundary run along a curved line three miles from the river between the ocean and a point three miles north of Pawtucket Falls, where the river begins to turn north. From there a line was to be drawn due west.Franklin K. VanZandtBoundaries of the United States and the Several States USGS Bulletin 1212, 1966 Canal and Dam The existence of these falls as a ...

Pawtucket Tribe
The Pawtucket tribe were a confederation of Eastern Algonquian-speaking Native Americans in present-day northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire. They are mostly known in the historical record for their dealings with the early English colonists in the 17th century. Confusion exists about the proper endonym for this group who are variously referred to in European documents as Pawtucket, Naumkeag, Wamesit, or Mystic Indians, or by the name of their current sachem or sagamore. Territory The Pawtucket lived in the Merrimack Valley of northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire, near the Pawtucket Falls and what is now Lowell, Massachusetts.George Franklyn Willey, ''Willey's Book of Nutfield'', page 190. History At the time of contact with Europeans, Nanepashemet was a sachem of the group, controlling lands from the present-day Charles River north to the Piscataqua River and west to the present-day Concord River. He was killed in 1617 in present ...
