Why Morehead State?
#1
Just a question, might be kinda stupid but why is morehead called morehead St. I mean Morehead isn't a State like Arizonia St or North Carolina St. So why do they call morehead, Morehead State.?:confused:
#2
My guess is that it's someone's name.

Maybe its a state school perhaps?? Not sure about that though, but here in KY you also have Murray State University.

All that means is that it is a state school that happens to be in the city of Morehead. It's not a pirvate college like Pikeville or Union, it is funded by the government.
