Regional History

The word spigot for an indoor faucet spreads southward and westward out of Pennsylvania, where it yields to the New England term faucet in the northernmost counties. To the west, faucet and tap are usual in the Inland North. In the Upper Midwest and Western states, the form spicket reflects Midland and Southern influence.
