Who is Byron Center named for ? (surprised me too)


(always verify) 

GEMINI AI says 

"Byron Center, Michigan, is named after the famous English Romantic poet, Lord Byron (George Gordon Byron).

The town was founded in the early 19th century and developed as a farming community. The choice of name reflects a common practice during that era in the United States to name new settlements after prominent literary figures, classical heroes, or notable places"
