History of Chadwick Fall

There is an interesting story attached to the name of Chadwick Falls. It was derived from two words ‘Chidku Jhaar’, where local considered Chidku as sparrow and Jhaar as jharna. They named it so because they thought that only sparrows can touch the top of the waterfall and not human beings. However, it was quite difficult for Britishers to pronounce it properly and hence they renamed it as Chadwick.

Some also say that a renowned scientist named Chadwick committed suicide from this location and that’s the major reason why it is called Chadwick.
