Acushnet River
The Acushnet River is the largest river feeding into the Buzzards Bay watershed in southeastern Massachusetts. The name "Acushnet" comes from the Wampanoag "Cushnea," meaning "as far as the waters," originally designating the fact that the tribe which sold the land to the Puritans inhabited the lands leading up to the river.
