A16. Yes. The pioneers who settled the village of Montauk, Missouri in the 1800s were originally from Montauk Point on Long Island, New York. They named their new village after their previous home back east. In addition to having a famous lighthouse originally authorized by George Washington, Montauk Point has some pretty respectable fishing, too.
