[edit] Naming

The city was or was not named after American Red Cross Founder Clara Barton according to two anons. Does anybody have a citation one way or the other? --Dual Freq 22:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

It was certainly named after the Barton family who settled the area, but I doubt its named for Clara specifically. Suppafly 12:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
