That's a great piece of history! It's like the story of "Nine Mile Run"

Yeah, it does sound like “folklore” to me! To me it sounds like maybe a Mohican word. But if the paper said in 1901 it’s from “Oh my,” then I maybe so. Anyway, fun video!

As a pre-driving young teen, I used to accompany my mother to assist in house cleaning at an artist's weekend home in Omi. The first time we went there, we passed the wide green sign that read "OMI" and I asked my mother "What does that sign mean? What's zero miles?" She laughed, and said "No, thats the name of this area, Omi." I was left both confused, and curious how it came to be. 😅 more than three decades later, I thank you for the clarification!

Ha! I'm glad to clear up one of life's many mysteries for you.

Thanks for another interesting video. What is the story of "the nine mile run"?

[@ghentnyahistoryofourown7657]

We think it's a nine-mile loop from the Borden's milk plant through Ghent hamlet, then north past the Kline Kill airport, then right on 203 and back to Buckleyville. The nine-mile milk run.
