Virginia: Tightsqueeze

N 41° 51.169' W 89° 12.318'

Although it doesn’t sound like it, Tightsqueeze’s name originated from old-school acts of chivalry. In 1870, as the area developed, a general store was built close enough to the highway that women could step straight from their carriages to the store without getting muddy or dusty on the dirt road. When a blacksmith built his shop directly across the road, he did the same thing. The original general store owner was not pleased, but the narrow passing between the buildings remained, and word spread that wagons would have to slow down for the tight squeeze.
