History
Edmund got its name in 1881 from Edmund V. Baker who owned the land where the settlement was located.[4]
gollark: ... do you want a cheese for it?
gollark: You're lucky. I never manage to get those things.
gollark: I generally say "tell me if you take it". Anyone who does not will pay for their evil crimes.
gollark: Yay, a cheese!
gollark: It's totally my business to impose constraints on stuff I'm giving away. Yes, strictly speaking, they *can* just trade it away, but if I notice that they are absolutely not getting gifts again. Never happens to me, though, since I mostly gift 2G whatevers and the occasional uncommon CB.
