Kawartha is an anglicization of Ka-wa-tha (from Ka-wa-tae-gum-maug or Gaa-waategamaag) which was coined in 1895 by Martha Whetung of the Curve Lake First Nations. It meant "land of reflections" in the Anishsinaabe language. The word was later changed by tourism promoters to KAWARTHA, meaning "bright waters and happy lands".
