According to a booklet issued by the Town of Ware, available at rest stops on the Mass Turnpike, the Town name is a translation of the Native word "Nenaneseck", meaning" fishing basket" or "fishing weir". The weirs were situated at the foot of the falls to capture salmon, a once abundant commodity in New England rivers. The Ware town seal is a depiction of one of the Natives spearing some of those captive fish.
