Interesting story regarding State College, PA. In the early 50’s, the new President of Penn State University, Milton Eisenhower, wanted the town to change its name to University Park, a more fitting name, as Penn State had become a huge university. Citizens balked at changing the town’s name. So Milton decided to create University Park, by getting the campus its own US Post Office. He contacted his brother Dwight and he got his post office. The “town”, now next to the campus, is State College, PA. It has lots of bars.
