Originally a vacation destination due to its remote and scenic
location, this community refrained from developing into a year-round
destination until after the Second World War when the development of
highways made it more easily accessible. Since that time, the community
has continued to grow, and its scenic surroundings have landed it as the
locale selection for a number of movies, including 1982's "Tootsie,"
starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica
Lange.
Interestingly enough, one of the biggest
debates surrounding the city is the controversy regarding how to
pronounce its name. Many believe the name to have Native American roots
and therefore pronounce it "mah- HO-pac," while other locals opted for
the town's "MAY-o-pac" iteration. The New York Times reports in 1988
that this controversy-at least officially-was put to rest when a vote
amongst city officials elected "mah-HO-pak" the official pronunciation
in a 3-2 vote. The Times also notes, though, that a pole taken only two
years prior found locals to prefer the "MAY-o-pac" pronunciation by a
reported 74 percent. |
