Lil’ wiki for ya all’: The highway is named after Kancamagus (pronounced "cain-kah-MAW-gus", "Fearless One"), third and final sagamore of the Penacook Confederacy of Native American tribes. Nephew of Wonalancet and grandson of Passaconaway, Kancamagus ruled what is now southern New Hampshire. After English settlers arrested a number of Pennacook tribe members, he was forced to make the decision in 1691 to move north into upper New Hampshire and what is now Quebec, Canada.

On February 9, 2004, University of Massachusetts Amherst student Maura Murray crashed her car on Route 112 near Woodsville. She disappeared shortly after this incident and her fate remains unknown.

Pronounced colloquially as kank-ah-mang-gus lol. At least by the old-timers.

I knew where this was before I saw the title! Such clear and cool water, I always want to take a sip.

Looks a lot like the East Branch of the Pleasant River in Maine. Beautiful regardless where it is.
