Anita is another town along the line bearing the name of a young lady...By the 1980's the Anita was almost non-existent...The state highway department was on the verge of erasing Anita from map, but proponents of the all-but-forgotten town, successfully petitioned to preserve Anita's identity. The town remained acknowledged on paper and was even marked by a roadside commemorative plaque.
