How Manning Got Its Name
Manning was named after a pioneer rancher named Dan Manning (1845–1914). He was a big supporter of the area and helped it grow. At first, some people thought about naming the community Owensville. This would have been after William P. Owens (1870–1913), because county work was done at his house. However, Owens decided he didn't want the community named after him.
