The place to protest this isn't Google.
We need to have everyone propose a name change to the official body in charge of place names, the US Board on Geographic Names.
Unfortunately, one of the rules on name changes is "Changing a name merely to correct or re-establish historical usage is not in and of itself a reason to change a name."
On the other hand, they also say "The most important consideration is local use and acceptance," so the sooner we act, the better.
