History

Maximo was originally called Strasburg, and under the latter name was platted in 1842.[2] Maximo's name is derived from the fact that it was a high point on the Pittsburgh-Fort Wayne rail line. A post office called Maximo has been in operation since 1853.[3]

gollark: Or maybe some the people concerned about this are just vaguely transphobic, who knows.
gollark: I assume it's mostly just because it's a more recent issue, and possibly because it's smaller in scope and easier to deal with one than the others.
gollark: That works as a fully general counterargument for literally every problem except the worst one(s) that exist at some time.
