Origins of Place Names Across Regions
A historical note traces how Front Royal Virginia got its name from a colonel’s order to “front the royal” amid command confusion. Norwalk Connecticut’s title is linked to a boundary prophecy and to a possible Indian word meaning point of land. Sing Sing New York’s creek name is given as Indian words for place of stone or possibly after John Sing Sing. Siskiyou California Oregon names are attributed to French cali loux meaning six boulders or an Indian term for bobtailed horse, tied to a famed race horse lost on the trail.
