The answer to this question would be that in the 1800's the name of this town used to be Pig's Eye Landing. After a guy that owned a beer company but one day a priest came along and said that we could not have this name because it sounded very dumb and so he built a church named St. Paul and got every one to call Pig's Eye Landing St. Paul.
