[edit] Origin of name

I assume it was named after Cessnock, Glasgow. Can anyone confirm?

I have an answer - "Cessnock was named by Scottish settler John Campbell, after his grandfather's baronial Cessnock Castle in Ayrshire to reflect the aristocratic heritage and ambitions for this estate.[1]. I'll add it to the article. -- JackofOz (talk) 07:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, is there any relationship with the Russian word for garlic, чеснок (pronounced chesnok), or is this just a coincidence? -- JackofOz (talk) 18:21, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
