Trivia fact for Sunday, May 2: What California town is named for President Zachary Taylor? Hint: The answer is neither Zachary nor Taylor. The town of Rough and Ready. Taylor's nickname as an army officer was "Old Rough and Ready." The town was founded by a group of gold rushers from Wisconsin who were organized as the Rough and Ready Mining Company, and led by an ex-soldier who had served with Taylor.
