From the contents of the article, it seems the place is named "the Center of the World" it is not the Center of the World. I.e 'Center of the World' is not a property of the place , it is the proper name of it.:biggrin:

Technically Center of the World is an unincorporated community in the township of Braceville in Trumbull County.
