Honestly, I bet they're named for your Hull. (Not like I've done any research into it, but that's what my gut says. LOL.) A lot of towns here are named for places elsewhere. Heck, CT even has a Scotland. LOL. (I think the town I grew up in was named after some lord that gave us a bell. LOL. Well, there's probably more to it, but that's what I remember.)

Kingston Upon Hull is a mouthful. :) lol.

Oh, I imported my LJ to dreamwidth. While I was at it, I added you. We'll see if I actually update them, but I figured, why not? :)
