Tag: Conneaut

Conneaut is a word of disputed meaning, believed to come from the language of the Seneca tribe of Native Americans. According to local tradition, it may mean either “place of many fish” or “snow water” (referring to Conneaut Lake, notable for its ice in winter). According to the Bureau of American Ethnology, conneaut is most likely a corruption of ga-nen-yot, meaning “standing stone.” Still others believe it to be a corruption of gunniate, meaning “it is a long time since they are gone.” Maps from the end of the eighteenth century spell the word Conyeayout and Connewaut.
Conneaut was originally used to name the features of a glacial valley which runs from Lake Erie at Conneaut, Ohio to French Creek near Cochranton, Pennsylvania. This valley has a split drainage: The northern part drains north into Lake Erie, and the southern part south into French Creek.
Several towns in this valley share its name:
Four bodies of water also share the name:

Skateboarding is a pastime activity, an art form, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2002 survey and study by American Sports Data discovered there are 18.5 million skateboarders in the world. 85 percent of skateboarders polled who had used a board in the previous year were under the age of eighteen, and 74 % were male. Those numbers have doubled since then. In the ensuing years the skate parks tripled making skateboarding more accessible as privately owned skate parks and indoor skate parks are coming into the picture.

The biggest change has been the generation bubble that skateboarded in their youth and have grown up with the “X” Games explosion into the global mainstream of competitive sports and sees it as a participation activity for their children led by X-Games Athletes who are affiliated and instruct for our brand and web site.
