The naming of Alfred has customarily been credited to Alfred the Great. That attribution may never be completely checked on the grounds that there seems, by all accounts, to be no surviving archive from the period when the town was named that binds it to King Alfred – i.e., no town, district, or state record with respect to the wellspring of the name. In spite of that missing documentation—There is, in any case, confirm in help of the legend, and there are no records that point to some other hotspot for the name. Nineteenth-century accounts do refer to Alfred the Great as the source. Furthermore, there was no early pilgrim named Alfred first or last name for whom the town may have been named.
