Choffington
… traditional site of the first courthouse of Cumberland County, located at the mouth of Little River near the present site of Linden in the N part of the county. The courthouse was there from 1755 until it was moved to Campbellton in 1765. The name may be derived from the old English word "chuff," meaning a rustic or rude, coarse fellow, and may have been applied by people of English descent to the recently arrived Scots.
