Yes, Glens Falls, New York, was originally known as "Abraham Wing" named after a local landowner. The name was changed to Glens Falls in the mid-19th century, reflecting the area's geography, specifically the nearby waterfalls. The new name was adopted to better represent the community's identity and its natural features.
