The world's monetary order is named for a resort hotel in the New Hampshire woods.

Delegates from 44 nations met in July 1944 at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, chosen partly because it was remote and had enough beds. The fixed-rate system broke down in 1971, but the name still attaches to the IMF and the World Bank.
