Cyrus Teed (Koresh)

Sources attach this name to the 1 place below. The name itself is part of the folklore record.

Cyrus Teed — 'Koresh' — is the settlement's central figure: the physician-messiah who preached that humanity lives inside a hollow sphere and promised his own resurrection. When he died in 1908, his followers kept vigil by his body until officials intervened. The settlement exists because of him; the strangeness is his legacy.
