History

Lake Sunapee is the only lake in New Hampshire with three working lighthouses, built in the 1890s and maintained by the Lake Sunapee Protective Association. People used large ferries to get from hotel to hotel around the lake, but the ferries were mostly gone by 1915, when the automobile was widely introduced to the area. The Indians called the area "Goose Lake" because it was a favorite spot of wild Goose Before Sunapee was a sizable tourist attraction, it was an industrial area. One factory produced 110 clothespins a minute. The name "Sunapee" was substituted for "Wendell" by the legislature in 1850.
