Crook County is my namesake. I'm ALL for them getting the hell out of that State.
Curious if the county's name has significance other than being a synonym for criminal? That is what immediately occurred to me.
"The county was named after General George Crook, a veteran of various battles against the indigenous peoples of Eastern Oregon in the middle of the 19th century."
You'd think these woke idiots would be happy for a name change on the county named after an oppressor of indigenous people.
1/4 of the story but ok.
I wasn't telling a story, just responding to the question of the significance of the county name. The short answer is that it was named after a guy.
