Sunapee is a town in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, USA. The population was 3,055 at the 2000 census. Sunapee is home to part of Lake Sunapee. The town includes the village of George's Mills. Like many other towns, this one went through name changes before its incorporation in 1781: "Saville," "Corey's Town," and then "Wendell," for one of the Masonian Proprietors, John Wendell. The name "Sunapee" was substituted for "Wendell" by the legislature in 1850. The town, Lake Sunapee and Mount Sunapee share the name which comes from the Algonquian Indian words "suna" meaning "goose," and "apee," meaning "lake." The Indians called the area "Goose Lake" because it was a favorite spot of wild geese.
