Lilypons started off as Three Springs Fisheries. Back in the 30s, when the post office deemed that the business needed its own post office, the owner at the time named the post office after his favorite opera singer, Lily Pons.
In the interests of full disclosure - I worked there for a couple of summers 20 years ago, and loved working around -- and in -- the ponds then. I always thought the scenery was quite lovely. Since then, they've added a number of formal water gardens to the property and created a lovely garden area to walk around or enjoy a few moments of peaceful solitude.
