I kept wondering why a Google spinoff was named after a river and community in Connecticut, one of the least Googley locales in the country. The connection is a ship, built in Connecticut, which brought gold rushers to San Francisco and was run aground and converted to a hotel there: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niantic_(whaling_vessel) The company was named after the ship. |
