Google might be able to suggest the best route from Red Bunch to
Keck's Center, but satisfying one's curiosity about the names of those
places - among the dozens of obscure corners of Fulton County -
requires a bit of digging.
The origins of the county's two cities' names are well known.
Johnstown was christened by its founder, Sir William Johnson, in honor
of his son, John, and Gloversville was named for the industry that
made its tanneries and craftsmen famous.
But a glance at any decent map of the county reveals a plethora of
colorful place-names. Some have remained familiar landmarks for
centuries, while others have faded from memory.
