Benefactor robinjojo Posted November 8, 2022 · Benefactor Author Benefactor Share Posted November 8, 2022 There's a city in Oregon named Athena, with an interesting history, according to Wikipedia, a case of too many Centervilles: "Athena, about halfway between Pendleton, Oregon, and Walla Walla, Washington, was originally called Centerville. However, confusion about the name sometimes arose because Oregon had another Centerville, in Washington County, and the state of Washington had a Centerville, in Klickitat County. In 1889, local government officials asked the Centerville school principal, D. W. Jarvis, to recommend a different name. He chose Athena after the Greek goddess, and they agreed."
