Listener Anne Skove points out there are a lot of cities and counties in Ohio that share a name. You ve got Hamilton County, which doesn t have Hamilton the city in it. There s Montgomery County, but there s a Montgomery here (in Hamilton County). Warren is way off on the other side of the state, and there s a Warren County, but they re nowhere near each other.
Her theory: famous people get things named after them. Washington State and Washington D.C. are nowhere near each other either, but you know, Washington. Famous, she says.
It s not a bad theory. Steve Lucht is curator at Dayton History. Pretty much all the major cities in Ohio are not named after places. They re named after people.
