Chautauqua. Chautauqua, New York, which takes its name from a Seneca Indian word possibly meaning “one has taken out fish there,” was the home of a Methodist summer colony where various cultural activities were offered beginning in 1874. Lectures there came to be called Chautauquas and by the end of the century lecturers giving lectures in towns and cities across the country were calling them Chautauquas no matter where they were held. |
