town when he thought his son
was dying from appendicitis.

as one word or two? Even town
officials debate this question.

famous French explorer.

This town has a tower that
encourages people passing
through to “watch the town grow.”
It was first called Maynard, but
had its name changed due to
the heroic actions of its current
namesake who saw a bridge
burning and ran down the railroad
tracks flagging down an oncoming
train. The railroad company
renamed the town in his honor.
N
A sign that reads “Home of
500 Happy People and a Few
Soreheads” is in front of a town that
used to be a telegraph office and
was named for a rancher in the area.
O
This town was established
in 1882. Its namesake was a
lieutenant in the army leading
an expedition through the Rocky
Mountains in 1835. He established
a trading post at this site. He
first named it Fort Lancaster.
