He chose Zap because of a coal mine on the edge of the town. He was aware of a coal-mining town in Scotland named Zapp and decided to name the community after the Scottish town. As was normal during that time, the name was Americanized and spelled with only one "p." This version is one of several for the naming of the town, but it normally accepted as the accurate story.
