The city was originally called Romeyn Falls (until its rebuilding, post-World War II). At that time, it was renamed in honor of the superhero Astro-Naut, who, apparently at the cost of his own life, saved the city from unspecified disaster.

Famous quotes containing the word city:
“The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman:
If it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole
world.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“No one would know except for ancient maps
That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
If from its being kept forever under,
The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
This new-built city from both work and sleep.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
