Known to many as the “circus capital of the world”, Peru, Indiana, was once the winter home of several great circus tours and continues to present a large amateur circus every July. This small and friendly city on the banks of the Wabash River is the hometown of this minor planet's discoverer.Naming citation (20030806/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
