Name[edit]

I moved this article from "Newnan's Lake" to "Newnans Lake" because the latter seems to be the more common usage. I had looked for "Newnans Lake" and gotten a red link, and was prepared to create the article. I find it ironic that two of the three sources cited in the article, including the USGS GNIS, were for "Newnans Lake" (without the apostrophe). In a Google search, "Newnans Lake" gives about 5,920 hits, while "Newnan's Lake" gives about 3,800 hits. -- Donald Albury 13:44, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a state forest along the northwest coast of the lake named "Newnans Lake" without the apostrophe. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 04:42, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I added a mention of it to the article. - Donald Albury 14:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
