| Origin of Name: | In honor of Horace Greeley (1811-1872), the famed founder and editor of the New York Tribune, who advocated support of land grants for farmers and a government-financed railroad to the Pacific. Greeley argued that the settlement of the west by small farmers held the key to economic and social renewal in the United States, then torn by class and regional differences. He is best remembered for his advice, "Go west, young man." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
