Poquott is an Indian name meaning "cleared land". This village within Setauket was originally named George's Neck. (Was that King George? No, it was for George Wood who kept the tavern.)More info

What does Pequot mean or is that the type of Indian's that live in CT?
(Hee-Hee! You trouble-makers in CT)
"The Pequot were a warlike nation of Indians who resided in south eastern Connecticut at the time of first European contact. It appears that the Pequot and the Mohegan people were originally one tribe which split into two some time around the beginning of the 16th Century. After the separation of the tribes, the Pequot still numbered about 3,000 people.
"The name Pequot means ‘destroyers’ and is in reference to the warlike nature of these people. Other names for the Pequot are Pekoath, Pequin and Sagimo. The Pequot spoke the Algonquin Y dialect..."
Found this on the internet.
