How Haryana’s Carterpuri village was named after former US President Jimmy Carter

Hindustan Times  

Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president and third American leader to visit India, after whom a village in Haryana was named Carterpuri has passed away at 100 in Georgia. Former US President Jimmy Carter waves after meeting 22 September 1990 in Port-au-Prince with authorities about the upcoming elections in Haiti. “The visit was so successful that shortly after, village residents renamed the area ‘Carterpuri’ and remained in contact with the White House for the rest of President Carter’s tenure. The trip made a lasting impression: Festivities abounded in the village when President Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, and January 3 remains a holiday in Carterpuri,” the Carter Centre said.
