Return to Index History & History Related Items Dunmore history: Dunmore is a Borough rather than a city. "The naming of Dunmore is the result of a smooth bribe gone for naught. The year was 1838, and Dunmore was then known as Bucktown, named for its abundant deer herds. A young Englishman, Charles Augustus Murray, had spent several weeks that year fishing and hunting around old Bucktown. During this time, several local railroad men befriended Murray and learned of his father, a wealthy English nobleman - the Fifth Earl of Dunmore. The railmen persuaded Chuck to return home to borrow $1.5 million from dear old dad; the money would help finance a rail link from here to New York. Ever pure in their motives, the railmen discarded the name Bucktown in favor of Dunmore, out of deference, no doubt, to the Earl's inherent magnificence. Unfortunately it appears the Earl was less than impressed - Charles never returned. He was sent off instead to diplomatic chores in Persia, and the name "Bucktown" slowly faded away, though high school teams are still called The Bucks.
