“Some of these names have to be made up. Derpmire? Newtownsville? Come on.”

“What’s so made up about them? Derpmire was founded on a drained swamp by Georg Derpmann, who immigrated from Schloß Derberg over two hundred years ago. It’s not his fault that his name is funny now.”

“And Newtownsville?”

“Look over here. Townsville township. Used to be a bigger city, but most of the people left to found Newtownsville after the flood of 1887.”

“Why call it Townsville though?”

“Because it was founded by Reverend J. J. Towns, that’s why!”

“Hm. Okay. What about this over here, then.”

“Ass Butte? Now that one I’m not sure about.”
