* Christchurch, New Zealand * Adelaide, Australia * Durango, Colorado * Tunbridge, Vermont * Kew, England * Leipzig, Germany * Rambouillet, France A strange collection of towns for a breed of sheep with African origin and Spanish and Portugese refinement but each has a special meaning in sheep and wool production and the specialty of the fine Merino Wool. As a case in point consider Vermont which in 1837 was estimated to have one million of these animals. Or Kew which of course is not a town at all but the site of the Royal Botanical Gardens on the South bank of the Thames River in London. It was also the home of the Royal Flock of King George III and that flock of course was Merinos.
