[Verginius Rufus]

They don't have a county named for him--maybe they are waiting until he dies. They could name two for him, "Robert" and "Byrd," side by side, like Virginia did with "Patrick" and "Henry" counties.

There is precedent for renaming counties--Cass County, Missouri, was originally named Van Buren County, and Clay County, Minnesota, was originally Breckenridge County.

[Theodore R.]

If word gets out about renaming counties, there will be King counties far beyond Seattle.
