Our local historical society is planning a celebration for the 110th anniversary of our town, and is looking for a non-numeric name for the occasion (preferably a catchy one). Any ideas?

I like "eleventieth", because it's a reference to Tolkein's Lord of the Rings.
But I think it actually has a name, something like "decicentennial".

The Buck-Ten-Cennial (like $1.10). You could have promotional and symbolic tie-ins to this amount like a silver dollar and a silver dime etc.
