The origin story of how a town near me got it's name was that the monks that founded the abbey in an area known as Garibaldi's Station due to an Italian man who lived there and operated a coaling station on the railroad. The story goes that when the Pope was told the name to Officially ordain it or whatever he refused to have an abbey called Garibaldi after so recently losing so much land and power to the man.
