Etymology

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Any editors interested in helping determine the etymology of this particular township? It is likely named for General Custer, but I can't find a reliable source the corroborate that. Anything else is just synthesis

First Custer Township - proximity to Fort Abraham Lincoln and nearby natural feature known as Custer Flats
Second Custer Township - no known connection, though Custer's men had performed patrols around other communities in the area (Mary Barnes, Origins of North Dakota Place Names, 1966)

Thanks for the help.DCmacnut <> 20:42, 23 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
