Nope it was for real. Tom Murphy wanted it built and named after him. He was the driving force behind that one.

He was a crafty and powerful speaker of the GA House for many years. He represented Harralson county and I wonder if he owned land that would have become shoreline. I don't know that as a fact but it would be consistent with what I have read about him.
