The Lake Erie name comes from the Native Americans who once populated the southern shore of the lake, known as the Eirehonan or Erie Indians. As I understand it, that name comes from an Indian word meaning people of the cat, and the Lake was know for a while as Lac du Chat or lake of the cat by the French explorers, due to the fact that the area surrounding it was well populated by large cats. Strange how now there are cryptozoological reports of large black cats seen along its waters from time to time.Talk about Erie (sorry about that).
