Named after Lord Gambier?

I don't want to overstep my knowledge, but is this town named after James Gambier, 1st Baron Gambier? Given the fact that his dates would correspond to the time that Philander Chase was soliciting funds for the foundation of Kenyon College (in the early 1820's), and that he was the only Lord Gambier, it would seem to make sense. But I'm not 100% sure, so I don't want to add it. Any thoughts? --Nufftin 16:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to this website http://www2.kenyon.edu/Khistory/chase/biography/biography.htm you are dead right. Go ahead and add it. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:56, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Town or village?

The article uses both terms. Do they mean the same thing here? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 05:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The village's web site (http://www.villageofgambier.org/) uses "village", but since it doesn't seem there's a separate entity called the Town of Gambier, "village" is most likely correct, but "town" could be used in a colloquial sense. --Nufftin 15:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say it's more of a village. Basically it's just a place that sprang up around and is mostly focused on the college (Kenyon). It has a post office, but the USPS doesn't deliver in town, so residents get a free or discounted box rental fee, or they used to. I don't live within the city limits, so I can't say for sure. 76.5.102.233 (talk) 02:24, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ohio law provides that all municipalities are cities or villages; see §703.01 of the Ohio Revised Code for details. There are no towns in Ohio. Nyttend (talk) 06:44, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
