In the US, a town with 195 inhabitants has been called “Bolivia” since the 20th century

From the time of 1900, a small town located in North Carolina, United States, decided to “baptize” with the name of “Bolivia”. Now, its inhabitants, who are no more than 195, experience a lot of pride and a sense of belonging.

The details are described in a video that circulates on social networks and where the mayor of Bolivia, Jane Marston, narrates that she was born and raised in that town, so she feels very “happy.”

According to the locals, Bolivia has a post office, a fire station, different churches and small businesses. Yes indeed. There, the curious who wish to visit will not be able to find supermarkets or stores that respond to international chains.

The question lies in the reason that led this people to take the same name as our country. In the 20th century, a railway passed through the area that loaded bags of fertilizers from these parts of South America with the name “Bolivia”.

Nearby, no more than 20 minutes away, there is a beach so that the inhabitants of that Bolivia can bathe in its waters.
