Sweden, South Carolina

Sweden is an unincorporated community in Bamberg County, in the U.S. state of South Carolina.[1]

History

Sweden was so named in order to fit with the railroad's "Scandinavian" naming scheme; other such examples include Norway, South Carolina and Denmark, South Carolina.[2]

gollark: I put together this simple search engine thing (https://search.osmarks.tk) as a fun project to try and practice building somewhat complex applications. It seemed to work fine on the test dataset of my website. But then I got bored and decided to have it crawl esolangs.org, and it's about a 14th of the way through after running for maybe an hour (at 1 page crawled/second), queries are running quite slowly, and the lack of pagination is causing problems. I guess this is a lesson in scaling?
