Allegany County

This postcard was received blank from a swap at swap-bot, and 1 year later (2016) mailed to Vicky in China.
 
US-3672173
 
On the back:
"The name Allegany comes from the Native American word "oolikhanna", which means "beautiful stream".
 
If you read that caption, know that there were hundreds of tribes in the United States before settlors came, so I have no idea which language it meant "beautiful stream" in. It's like saying "comes from the European word" ...
