The moose capital

Det finns ett till Karlstad, närmare bestämt i Minnesota, USA.
Welcome to Karlstad, Minnesota, the Moose Capital of the North.
"Around 1883 a Swede named Carl August Carlson moved into the country west of Twin Lakes, and established a homestead. In 1904, the Soo Line Rail Road built its track through Carlson's farm and bought a townsite from him. The new town needed a name. Some suggested Klingville, then Clayton, finally Karlstad, honoring both Mr. Carlson and the city of Karlstad in Sweden."
Det var lite roligt.
