Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce is an amusement park located in Bristol and Southington, Connecticut; the lake itself lies completely in Southington. Opened in 1846, it is the oldest continuously-operating amusement park in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Park Information )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oldest Amusement Parks in the United States )〕 The amusement park covers 332 acres (1.3 km²) of land. The amusement park also has a beach and a waterpark which can be accessed by guests for no extra charge. The park was acquired from Kennywood Entertainment Company, by Palace Entertainment, the U.S. subsidiary of Parques Reunidos.
==History==
The lake's name is derived from Chief John Compound, a Mattatuck/Tunxis Native American. On December 3, 1684, his wife and several tribal members affixed their waxed fingertip marks to a deed that conveyed the "Compound's Lake" to a group of white settlers, including John Norton, who had migrated to central Connecticut from Massachusetts, for pennies on the dollar and miscellaneous trinkets, including a large brass tea kettle. Legend has it that Chief Compound drowned while trying to cross the lake in a large brass tea kettle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lakecompounce.com/site/information.html#history )〕
