A city that is close to me here in San Diego County, California called Vista, has a similar welcome sign to this one from Boone, Iowa. It appears Masonic Signs Boonemany of these cities, where you will find these signs, may have been donated by Freemasons or are cities that were founded by Freemasons.

Thanks to Google and a little mind power; I figured my theory out in about 60 seconds flat, and it appears that many of these cities were in fact founded by Freemasons.

The city of Boone was platted as a town in 1865 by John Insley Blair. It was incorporated the following year, when the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company railroad station was built there. The town was originally named “Montana”; it was renamed to Boone in 1877.

John Insley Blair’s father was John Blair, Jr. (1732 – August 31, 1800) was an American politician, Founding Father and jurist. Blair was a Freemason. He was named Grand Master of Freemasons in Virginia under the newly organized Grand Lodge of Virginia in 1778. (Wikipedia)
