Skip Bertman said it's an old indian word for "trailer park"
So I believe him over whatever that google thing is.

I'll live in a place in the country far removed from the city anyday

Interesting history. The town has been continuously occupied for 2,100 years.

The Stark family was pretty badass and my favorite family in Westeros, so the city of the Starks sounds pretty awesome to me. Winter is coming, my dude.

I've been to every SEC town (except Lexington and Mizzou) Starkville is a perfectly nice college town. College Station is the worst, not Starkville.

I agree. I almost moved to our lakehouse permanently. It's just so peaceful.

More like Boredtown, am I right? Considering it was once named Boardtown Starkville is a pretty good name, IMO

Starkville is arguably the worst college town in America.

Gainesville is worse than Starkville.
College station though, sets the standard for bad.

I thought the same thing when I went. It's a nice place and it's gotten much nicer (as have all major college campuses) in the past decade. I like all 13* SEC towns

You kept editing your post to add more and more dirty words, didn't you?

If you can't have fun in any of the SEC towns, then you are a miserable son of a bitch and I feel sorry for you

My favorite Starky story was when Johnny Cash got locked up for picking flowers late in the night.
I like Mississippi, including Starkville. I guess because so many South Carolinians moved there after the soil here went bad in places after constant cotton planting for decades.
I have eaten twice at the "Old Southern Tearoom."
No people in this country have ever been braver than those in Vicksburg during the Yankee seige. The Tearoom had/has the best lemon pie I have ever tasted in a restaurant and the corn dish was excellent.

The very first thread I ever started on here was basically the same as this one back in 2010. It fills me with shame now, as you should currently be feeling.

I'm concerned that you just learned the definition of stark, or at least thought it was a rarely known word that the definition had to be linked and quoted.
This is definitely why Starkville was named, couldn't possibly have anything to do with General John Stark.
