The name "Plevna" in the Russian language means "City of Churches." Originally, the Milwaukee Railroad chose to call the new station "Edina." |
Many Bulgarians worked on the Milwaukee Railroad when it was built, and officials of the Milwaukee approved the workers' choice of |
the name "Plevna." Plevna, Bulgaria, was a historical site where the Russians were engaged in a great battle with the Turks. (1877) |
