Just how did it get its rather interesting name?
In 1848, Pennsylvania Congressman Job Mann pressured for a post office in an unnamed village in Harrison Township in Bedford County. The Post Office Department approved a new post office for the village but since it didn't have a name, Congressman Mann was to give it one.
But, before he was able to do that, postal maps were made with the temporary designation of "Mann's Choice" written on them.
The name was never changed and became the permanent one.
Mann's Choice or Manns Choice, You decide.
So, Now You Know What You've been Wondering for a Long Time. --RoadMann?
