Bootjack

Three versions are current of how the town was named. The first, a fork in the road made a bootjack shape (basically, a "Y"). The second, is that a landmark tree at the place had a bootjack shape. And third, that after a horse thief's hanging at the place a bootjack was used to remove his boots.
