How Ashburn got on there is a total mystery.

Ashburn is also home to the Big Peanut Monument and a Peanut Museum. The monument was created to pay tribute to the peanut processing industry that allows the city to be nicknamed "The Peanut Capital of the World". The Golden Peanut Company, considered the world’s largest peanut processing plant, has a facility in the heart of the city.
