Dickens (not Charles)(but named for him)
When your itinerary for the day is to “drive around and look at stuff” and you’re traveling along a two-lane road and there’s a sign that says “Dickens” and run-down building down a dirt road, there’s really only one choice, isn’t there?
The place is unincorporated, and so small that there’s no population listed. I’d put it at fewer than 10. According to our friend Wikipedia, the place was founded in the 1880s when the railroad went through. Wikipedia also notes the place was named for Charles Dickens, though it offers no supporting evidence. But let’s think about long-ago students in this school reading Bleak House…

‘Bleak House’ was my immediate thought before I read your own two paragraphs – great minds think alike…again!

That’s funny – especially since we both thought of an out-of-the-mainstream Dickens book!
