A Town Called George

I recently saw in a magazine (I don't remember which one) a letter-to-the-editor written by a reader who lives in a town in Washington State called George.

Looking the town up in my Michelin North America road atlas (2012 edition) to satisfy my curiosity, I discovered its location--a hundred miles more or less northeast of Yakima, in the central part of the state, on Interstate Highway 90, population 528.

George, Washington. I wonder how long it took the founders of the town to come up with that particular name.
