Any idea why the city is called "Olive Branch"? No one at the airport
had a clue.


From the magic of an internet search, the town was originally named
"Cowpens". They must have given them incentive to change it.

The name was supposedly settled on to commorate the peaceful negotiations
with local first nation bands. It was the name used when the first post
office opened.
