Here is a piece of Cortland history, in the words of the record. The Internet Archive puts it this way: "Cortland. The early settlers of Cortland intended to call the
town Galesburg in honor of a Mr. Gale who owned the land on
which the town is now located. There were so many Galesburgs in
the United States, however, that this name was rejected. The name
Cortland was suggested by the railroad officials, doubtless after
Cortland, New York."
Cortland is a village in Gage County. The Census Bureau counted 504 people here in 2020.
