Geronimo was a prominent leader and medicine man of the Bedonkohe band of the Chiricahua Apache tribe. Born in 1829 in present-day Arizona/New Mexico, his Native name was Goyahkla (meaning "One Who Yawns"). He became a powerful symbol of Indigenous resistance against both Mexican and United States expansion into Apache homelands.

The Fig Newton is named after the suburb of Newton, Massachusetts, which is located just outside Boston.  The cookie was created in 1891 by the Kennedy Biscuit Company, which was based in nearby Cambridge, Massachusetts. The company's plant manager, James Hazen, made it a tradition to name their new baked goods after surrounding Boston suburbs (at one point, they nearly called it the "Fig Shrewsbury").
