Do you know of Connecticut Lake ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Connecticut Lake. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Connecticut Lake.<1>

Our sources for Connecticut Lake (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Connecticut Lake other than they indicate that Connecticut Lake would be found somewhere in Coos County, New Hampshire.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1862 and closed  in 1904.
