Hamburg Marker — Why Hamburg?
Photographer: Hamburg Historical Society
Caption: Hamburg Marker — Why Hamburg?
Additional Description: Naming the village and township was difficult for the 19 men charged with the task. Eight men picked Lenox and eight others chose Steuben. They turned to the three Grisson brothers to make the final decision. The brothers ignored both names and selected Hamburg after their birthplace in Germany.
