Too scared to leave he founded the town on top of the site of the mauling, initially calling it 'Hugginsville' until later in 1847. Where a wandering pack of teenagers forced him to change it to 'Two farts', after they left too afraid to change it all the way back the name gradually changed to 'Teufort'. However, this information may not be true, as the story was written by a librarian.[3].
