Pearland, Texas Named in 1894 for all the pear trees found in the area along with many other fruit trees.
And then they used to grow a lot of sugar cane and refine it here where I live in Sugar Land. I even have the town of Sugar Land on my NTRAK modules.
And very excellent modules they are ! ! ! For all the dope available in ElP, it should be renamed maryjuanaville, then we could really waste away in margaritaville. Carl
How about Kenora, Ontario it is made up of 3 towns and they joined together on 1889 and the towns were keewatin, Rat portage, and Norman
Rat Portage seems quite unusual. I often wonder about the story behind such names. Sometimes strange, others humorous....
From my old home State, names such as Queets and Hoh. Which if spoken quickly sound like a cross between hiccups and indigestion.
And I have another one this one is 5 minutes away at a town called humble (pronounced umble) that is where the humble oil company is from, I attened humble Isd but live in Kingwood
Mike of Fifer Hobby mentions Rehoboth, New Mexico as an Indian name. But I remember the name Rehoboth from my study of east coast family history and genealogy. Checked.. yes, there is a Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Rehoboth is actually a Bible place name. Still unusual sounding.
Cotton Plant, Arkansas Mentioned in the Lewis Black CD - End of The Universe. Listening to said CD last night.
