My home town, is the second largest in the entire state of West Virginia, and it was founded in an unusual way! For an unusual reason. It didn't just grow like most towns do! It was founded by a railroad tycoon who never even lived there! His name was Collis P. Huntington. I can't remember all the details right off hand, but I think it was an interesting story!
Also it is the home of Marshall University, and the subject of the new movie with Mathew McConaughey called "We are Marshall" *sm*

We're known for our history, 19th century architecture, unlimited hydroplane racing and for being the only City-owned unlimited hydroplane racing boat in the world. We were also Midwest Living Magazine's #4 pick for 100 Top Towns to Visit in 2007.

It has one of the best liberal arts colleges in the country.
In the 1800's it was a major hub of river transportation in CT.
Oh and about 12 million restaurants. We have a ridiculous amount of restaurants for the size of the town. There are about 35 downtown alone. You could probably eat out at a different restaurant every day and not eat at the same one twice in a year.

We share a distinction with Fairmount, In. James Dean was born in Marion, In. and raised by his Uncle and Aunt Winslow in Fairmount, In. from the age of 9 years old. Which is just about 10 mile south of Marion, In.

My town is known for Disney parks, Universal Studios, the Orlando Magics basketball team, and celebs. You can probably guess that it's Orlando Florida.

My town is almost constantly in the news for two idiots, living in an apartment building, who shoot themselves overnight due to a dispute with a woman, stolen car or a card game.

My town was part of the Underground Railroad. In fact there's a building here with a basement that hid slaves at one point
