Etymology

Latest comment: 5 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The current name origin in the etymology section is unsourced, and when I search to find the name's origin online I find conflicting stories. None of the stories come from an authoritative source. Some websites suggest that Glendive is a corruption of Glendale and does not come from the Irish language. Does anyone know which of these stories might be true?

I found: Place Names, Names of the Face of Montana (I have a copy), and the current reference all have Gore naming a creek/stream and the town taking the name from there. At least there is that much in common, though not where he got the name exactly. My preference would be to drop the Etymology section and add a basic note for Gore in the History section.--Tbennert (talk) 01:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I moved the etymology section to the history section, omitting the source of the name. Penguin314 (talk) 11:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
