Current name assigned 1953. Before that, a different name from 1939 to 1953. Before that, there is a gap in the municipal record. Before the gap, references in adjacent county documents from 1949 use a third name.
Both 1949 documents referencing the original name were the subject of correction memos. Both memos instruct staff to remove the original name from all future official documentation. Neither memo gives a reason.
the correction memo is the important artifact. routine renaming does not generate a memo instructing removal from all future documentation. that language is active suppression, not administrative correction.
I found a third usage of the original name in a 1931 insurance document from an adjacent county. the coverage was for a structure that no longer appears on any post-1953 map of the area.
these memo patterns appear in at least seven other municipal archives I have researched. always the same structure: two memos, no reason given, same language about all future documentation. someone was writing from a template.
