Submitted by Deb Ross L acey has been in the news lately – this year the city celebrates the 50 th anniversary of its incorporation. So, I thought I might take another look at the recurring question: how did the city get its name? My research unearthed a previously unnoticed classified ad that may provide a tiny clue.
