The Co's name in AL came from the Creedmoor Range on Long Island, NY, pure and simple. The homage goes there, albeit circuitously via Nebraska and Alabama.

He SAID it was named after his COMPANY. Again, if he didn't have a company name Creedmoor, it probably wouldn't be named Creedmoor. Sure, his company may have come from the Creedmoor matches, which then you can say it was named after Creed's farm. Then you can say Creed's farm was named after... Seriously, if your mom said 'Brad, you were named after your grandfather' would you say 'Stupid bitch, I was named after Adam, since he spawned Cain, and he spawned Jacob and he spawned Brad'

The gentleman credited with naming the new range was Colonel Henry Shaw, a member of the range committee of the NRA. On arriving at Creed's Farm and observing the open, desolate field, with coarse scanty grass and brambles he declared it a veritable moor, Creed's Moor. Hence by a happy inspiration and coincidence "Creedmoor" became the name of the new range.

So then did Jim Hill name the company after the range?

Personally, I like the name 6.5 Arby's. Naming it after a sandwich filled with plastic meat and surrounded by hype (but which still tastes pretty good) seems fitting.
