No no no. It's the result of e-vo-lu-tion. Wait, that's not right. Umm... E-col-o-gy? Nope... umm... I can't think of the word, but it has to do with glaciers and stuff like that. And vacation resorts. Yeah.
Actually, I think it would be en-vi-ron-ments, but you're right, glaciation wins the day! Although the developers probably had a hand in naming it george, would be my guess.
Well, yeah, but I mean, there had to be something there to market, didn't there? I mean, it's a pretty big lake. Really big. Like, humongous. A zillion times bigger than me, at least. So I don't think the tourism marketeers could've made it on their own.
But they're marketeers! they can do anything! Rumour has it that supreme beings can create worlds in 7 days, but no one cares until marketeers create mass hysteria about it in only ONE day.
You're not allowed to find something wonderful unless marketeers tell you it's there first (after they've given it a catchy name of course).
Hmmn. I had *no* idea. But that does explain all the Lake George pamphlets lying around... And really, who'd want to come up with catchy names like 'george' on their own?
It's kind of hard to miss. And everybody else calls it George, too. At least, they have for a long time. The French called it St. Sacrement and I assume the Iroquois and the Mohawks and the Algonquins called it something different. I call it the place I learned to water-ski. :-)
Doh! So I am not the only one to follow the signs to it, is this what you're telling me??? I mean, the sign was clear... "Lake George -- 3 miles" Heh. But you're right, it is pretty hard to miss.

but seriously, I think the word you're looking for is glaciation.

George is a weird name for a lake. And I'm from Minnesota, where there were sufficient lakes that some had pretty odd names.
