Transcription error in the 1980s from a map from the 1960s leads to incorrect "populated place" being given to a "location" that was a factory with a train station.
I think this public-data sleuthing article is a piece of beauty, and I'm somewhat willing to accept the occasional transcription errors if this is the result.
These location names seem to be sourced from anywhere at all, without regard for verification. Around here, sometimes this surfaces ancient neighborhoods which haven't existed for a century, sometimes a marketing label which is referenced on the web a lot, and sometimes some non-Euclidean weirdness breaches the surface.
Good 'ole Garbage In, Garbage Out at work.

I was half-expecting that HN would have greater appreciation of CS' writings than the general population...
