While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 08:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, the Barnesville Petroglyph is seemingly named after Barnesville. Leepaxton (talk) 06:35, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
