There's a small town in northern Ontario by the name of Swastika. I'll see if my parents know anything about its history.

The town of Swastika... they've got to work that into an episode of South Park somehow. http://www.southparkhell.co.uk/lyrics/bc.html (slightly not for the faint of heart)

There was a baseball team in, I think, the '30s in the Plains states somewhere had a swastika on their cap.

I bought an ornament in Turkey that incorporated a swastika and on enquiring was told this was a Hittite symbol. Just to note that the Hittites controlled Mesopotamia during the 2nd millenium BC. An old symbol indeed.
