City of Mesa

 
Date Visited:   Saturday, October 9, 2004
City Visited #:   444
County:   Franklin
Visited With:   David & Randy
City Name History:   The town name is a misnomer in two respects. Its origin is the Spanish word mesa (pronounced MAY-suh), meaning "table land." Not only is the pronunciation altered locally, but the town is situated on rather low flat land surrounded by hills rather than on a steep-walled plateau.
Comments:   Some post offices don't even have one sign on the building. Here's one with two signs. Go figure!
