Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONESTOGA (said to mean " people of the immersed or forked poles ") , a tribe of
North
  American Indians of Iroquoian stock. Their
country
  was
Pennsylvania
  and
Maryland
  on the
lower
  Susquehanna river and at the head of Chesapeake bay. They were sometimes known as Susquehannas. They were formerly a powerful
people
 , able to resist the attacks of the
Iroquois
 . In 1675, however, the latter overwhelmed and scattered them. After nearly a
century
  of wandering, the tribe suffered final extinction in the
Indian
 
wars
  of 1763.
