That proofs it again. For Europeans 200 miles is a long way to drive and for Americans 200 years is a long time.

The area of my town was first mentioned in 1347 (which is pretty young for the surrounding area which have settlements dating back more than a 1000 years).
(Which in turn is laughable for Egyptians and the like...)
