Connatachequa

Connatachequa is an old spelling of Conococheague Creek, which flows south from Pennsylvania to the Potomac River. Its valley lies between Appalachian ridges and was home to Indigenous peoples including the Susquehannock, Shawnee and Lenape. The creek gave its name to a frontier district opened to European settlement in 1736. Its name appeared in many spellings as travellers and surveyors recorded the waterway.
