The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The area Gu-Win occupies is between Guin and Winfield. Until the 1950s, it was known as "Ear Gap". Not wanting to be annexed into Guin or Winfield, it pursued incorporation for itself, and chose the name of the local drive-in theater, "Gu-Win". As of 2019, the theater still operates, but has been renamed the Blue Moon.
