Allegany comes from the Indian word “oolikhanna” meaning “beautiful stream.”   I found this information on the home page of the County Orphan’s Court.  It is campaign time and I see lots of people as candidates for the court.  It made we wonder how many judges we need.  The answer to that question is we have 3 judges currently.

In my search for information I had a bonus.  I found out the meaning of the name of our county.  This area is appropriately named because we have many beautiful streams.  On nice days just driving or riding around is great fun because of the scenery.

I am also thankful for the internet.  It is like the library is right in my home.  What hidden treasures has the internet brought you recently?  Let us share the wealth of the good things that are out there!
