Google Name Change Topeka

Google Name Change Topeka: Why Does Google Say Topeka : Is it Google April Fool!!!!. (Topeka Google April Fools?). Story about how the mayor of Topeka, KS decided to change the name to Google and that in turn, Google decided to change its name to Topeka to honor the city. But I won’t. Instead, you can read all about it on the Official Google Blog.

The change is purportedly a return gesture to Topeka, Kanasas, whose mayor unofficially renamed the city “Google, Kansas,” for the month of March in an effort to land a spot on Google’s “Fiber for Communities” program. The initiative, launched this year by Google, promises to install new broadband cables in random communities around the United States.

“We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture,” a spokesperson wrote on the company’s official blog. “Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.”
