The country of Bolivia was once part of Peru during the era of Spanish rule. After Simon Bolivar led Latin America to its independence he gave the option for either Bolivia to separate or stay united with Peru. They named the new country in his honor.

Very interesting, Adam. I love how you spend time, finding these interesting tidbits for us.
And here in this day and age the most I can hope for is that some poor inner city high school might one day rename itself after me.

Nice of him.
Maybe the big forehead is because of the big receding hairline.
