Hello Thorp, Wisconsin!
Imagine my surprise when a slip of a google search turns up a town with my surname, Thorp, Wisconsin. My earlier years were spent in Sarcoxie, Missouri (pop 1280, back then). The population of Thorp is 1536, from the last census numbers. I’m guessing with a well timed Google street view, you might be able to see everyone in town.
Visiting the cities’ website (http://www.cityofthorp.com/) it looks to be a nice place with lots of civic activities and nice public facilities. Here is a brief history of the town which was founded in 1893.
Thanks Google for bringing me some fun information.
