A mill southwest of town provided clapboards which gave the town its original name, Boardtown. In 1835, Boardtown was established as the county seat of Oktibbeha County and its name was changed to Starkville in honor of Revolutionary War hero General John Stark.
Interesting history. The town has been continuously occupied for 2,100 years.

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