Newton
Massachusetts town for which Nabisco® 's classic fruit-filled cookie is named. The Fig Newton® celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1991; Nabisco® built a giant oven especially for the occasion to bake the world's largest cookie, over one city block long. Considering that Newton is a very Jewish burg, it does seem rather whacked that any corporation would build a giant oven there.
The Fig Newton® was almost named the "Fig Brockton," after another Boston suburb.

Example:
Newton, like neighboring Brookline, is a town full of over-cautious drivers who delight in sitting at red lights.
