A popular myth surrounding the origins of the name "Andover" describe a train tipping off the railroad tracks, and an eyewitness describing that the train "went over and over", however this proves to be false because an Anoka County Union Newspaper article first mentions the name in an articled dated March 14, 1899, before any railroad tracks went through the city.
