A friend of mine visited Greer, South Carolina, recently and used a Snapchat filter for the town of Greer to post a photo of her stay there. What made this one post interesting is that Greer is also her last name. Others soon commented on her social media post about how they will have to visit the towns that carry their own last name, like Steele, or Benton, Alabama. Then I wondered how many towns were named for actual people and if there was a Minder or Todd out there.
