Who is the most famous person from your town?

Submitted by Pontiac on March 12, 2026
I recently found out that Taylor Hose (The person who will close the Artemis II Rocket when launched on April 1) graduated from my high school. This got me wondering who is the most famous person from your town?

I know you’re from WV or you’re playing into that REAL hard. I mean, I understand sharing some info but not a ton. Like how much do you know about me? I’m genuinely curious.

I wouldn’t really consider where I live now a town but where I was born (Walla Walla), so I would consider Adam West the most famous person from Walla Walla, he played Batman in the 1966 film.

Not really my town as no one is from Pollock Pines but the artist Thomas Kinkade is from nearby Placerville as well as NASCAR driver Kyle Larson claims the Placerville Speedway as him home track although he's from Elk Grove not Placerville.

In the relatively small town where I was born and now live, there have been many since Roman times.

They include...

The 16th century Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.

The co-discoverer of oxygen.

The CEO of Glaxo Smith Klein.

and a TV personality that made programs based on cleaning!
