City Name
History:
|
The
town's original name, Little Falls, duplicated that of another community
served by the Northern Pacific Railway. The Northern Pacific
suggested Sopenah; the townsfolk countered with Toronto.
Finally the matter was referred to the state legislature in 1913, and as a
compromise the town was named to honor an elderly German who was one of the
early settlers. Mr. Vader was not flattered, but outraged, and
promptly moved to Florida. |
