Washington: Vader

N 41° 51.171' W 89° 12.159'

Unfortunately, Vader didn’t get its name from eager Star Wars fans. The Washington town of 700 people, originally called Little Falls and then Sopenah, was named in 1913 for German immigrant and Civil War veteran Martin Vader. The intention was to provide a name that stood out along the Northern Pacific Railway Company’s corridor. According to historical records, Vader was, for some reason, so offended by the use of his name that he picked up and moved to Florida.
