The Cooks gap river was sue ceeded by another which took the easy north -end-south course. This was the primitive Pennington river. | The Pennington Is one of the most interesting rivers in New England. as it is practically flowing back wards today.
 Originally thi. river came from Lake Congamond straight south through Plainville 10 New Haven. fed by tributaries which have since become the main rlver and by the Pequabuck. which came in through Bristol and Southington. Then came the glacier. which left great piles of earth benind it as 1t retreated. These formed hills which acted as huge dams across the Pennington and blocked its course. A lake was formed at Pine Meadow and The river was forced to carve out a new course through Satan's Kingdom.
 A second dam was thrown across the river at Cheshire, cutting the river off from its direct route to New Haven. The stream had to fino some outlet, so 1t turned east, cut the present gorge of the Quinnipiat through the soft sandstone at South Meriden. and eventually reached New Haven anyway.
 At southington a third dam was left obstructing the course of the Pennington. and the waters backed up to form a great lake extending through Piainville. Pennington, and Avon. The lowest point in the lake rim was at Tariftville, and eventual ly the water broke out there to flow in its present channel to the Con- necticut The lake when it drained, left a northward flowing river flow ing through the newly made chan nel, so that from Southington to Tariffville the Pennington actually flows in exactly the opposite direc- tion to that which it originally took
 While the lake existed, the soil carried into 1t by the rivers was de- posted as sand. this being the origin Of the working of the present sand beds which at present constitutes one of the chief industries of rev. enue in Plainville. Only the low lying great lakes district of Plainville. low swampy region which is finally being combated by the construction of a storm sewer by the town of Plainville, and the little trickles which constitute the sources of the Quinnipiac. remain of the once large river.
 While speaking of New Britain rivers, it may be well to call at tention to the fact that New Brit ain, without rivers itself. is the source of three streams. The Quin- nipiac has its origin at Rattlesnake mountain and White Oak. the Mat tabessett springs from the numerous brooks which flow down from Ozone heights through the southwestern part of the city, and the brooks in the Belvidere section are the head waters of the Park river.
