AB - A short history of the word Conestoga. First used to describe "the people of the forked roof poles" in what is now Virginia, the word has also become synonymous with the early migrations of the Mennonites from Pennsylvania to Waterloo County. The names of the wagon, the trail, the river and the community (now spelled Conestogo) all have the same origin.
