Does anyone know the derivation of the name "Wastena" which was lettered on the side of Car 17 of the Laconia Street Railway sometime between 1901 and 1907? It is believed the name had reference to some historical place or event connected with Central New Hampshire history but specifics are not known. (Car 17 is currently at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport awaiting possible restoration.)
