| Jump River 724 |
The original settlement was called Broderville for Barney Broeder. This wasn't located at quite the same spot as the current Jump River, but it's close enough. The settlement, which is 3 "blocks" long, lies along the bank of the Jump River which supposedly was so named because Indians used the Big and Little Jump Rivers for tests of athletic prowess near their sources. It's a decent story that's too good to check.
