This VOR (visible just above the nose of the aircraft) is in the United States, and is named after the nearby city.

October 2016 VOR

This navaid shares the name of the nearby small town, and the name and identifier of its general aviation airport.

The town, which is in a sparsely populated area of the U.S., was named after a local rancher and politician, who is named after a lover of horses, but was actually a fan of the buffalo.

The county where it is located is named after a Norwegian King.

Passing through the town is a lousy body of water, but the sun kisses the earth here, allegedly.
