A whole town was built on top of an abandoned airport, with the old runways serving as main roads.



The town of Bar Nunn was established in 1982 atop the old Wardwell Field airport. The original runways were used as the town's first streets. Over 2,000 people now live in the community.



It is a subdivision of the City I live in.

Illinois

The Burger King in the town of Mattoon actually opened before the national chain and registered a statewide trademark in 1959. They sued to be able to operate as the only Burger King in Illinois, but were foiled in court -- though the Burger King chain is still not allowed to operate within 20 miles of the original restaurant.

Wow the one in the link for IA is in my backyard. I work in Britt. What a screwy celebration though. Invite a bunch of bums and vagrants to town and throw a party. The police actually watch the trains for people hitching rides.

Over sixty years ago, a brutal, terrifying car accident occurred on Cedarvale Road, in Onondonga, New York, just ten miles southwest of Syracuse. Since that fateful day some six decades ago, it has been said that the road, which is known better by its nickname, “13 Curves,” has been haunted by the souls of those who died in this tragic accident.

Home to the first foreign assembly plant, Honda.
Home to the first man to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong.

Oh, and this according to huffpost.

The United States Congress failed to go through all the motions of recognizing Ohio as an official state when it was first recognized in 1803. Congress recognized the state in 1953 after the error was discovered, but decided to retroactively make the official founding date reflect the original year.
