Congratulations to Leslie Davies-Hilliard for submitting the winning names, Chandler and Hope. Leslie proposed the names Chandler and Hope after the well-known estate in Port Tobacco, Chandler's Hope. This estate was owned by the Chandler family, a distinguished first family in the Port Tobacco area. In the late 1600s, the area was then known as Chandler's Town.
Congratulations again to Leslie as well as our other finalists and thank you to all who submitted names for the Port Tobacco Eagle Naming Contest.
