The event was originally scheduled to take place in the town of Woodstock, New York. The venue fell through and at the last minute a new place had to be found. The farm used was Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel NY. With posters already printed and all of the word of mouth, the name of the event was not changed.

Charles M. Schultz named the character "Woodstock" after the 1969 music festival of the same name .

If you are asking why the music festival was named Woodstock it was simply because the festival took place near the town of Woodstock, New York. The festival actually took place in Bethel, New York.
