S. P. Pesznecker has been looking the matter up ai d finds that the name comes from the French estacada or the Spanish estaca da , both o f which mean a stock ade. As a stockade is an inclos ure, and Estacada is enclosed between two dams, upper and lower, probably the name is de rived as above, and not as some say, a corruption o f Esther Cady, If the word is o f French or Spanish origin, then the» a of.the penultimate syllable should be pronounced as the a in far.
