The name-origins of some small towns near Birmingham, (Origin Unknown) Alabama (Albamos Indians) like many place names are quaint, ignorant, cutesy, pretentious and sometimes amusing. One example...

>REMLAP<
A family of early settlers immodestly chose to name a town, near Locust Forks, after themselves. Their name was Palmer. The Palmers apparently were a contentious clan, five families of Palmers got mad and moved ten miles down the road and established the town of REMLAP -which is Palmer spelled backwards. The REMLAP Palmers were probly right about the Palmer Palmers -a hundred years later the descendents of the Palmers of Palmer changed the name of their town to the more high-faluting sounding PALMERDALE.
