The modern Lancashire town of Nelson grew around the 220-year-old Lord Nelson pub.
The Lord Nelson, which dates back to 1805, will call last orders for a final time on 2 October after its brewery owners decided to sell it.
Historian Roger Frost said: "It is the only town in England as far as I know of that was named after a pub." "Great Marsden was the old name for Nelson and so the company couldn't cope with two stations of the same name. The building was demolished in 1895 and the Lord Nelson Hotel was constructed to replace the old building, before a further revamp in 1988.
