cquote|The village in 1978 had enjoyed the unique distinction of hosting an American president when Jimmy Carter came calling with his wife. Till then called Chuma Kheragaon, it was re-christened Carterpuri soon after the visit.
The villagers are disappointed that Bill Clinton's is not stopping at Caterpuri. In 1978 the village had suddenly found itself in media glare thanks to Jimmy Carter's desire to spend some time in the village where his mother had once worked as a social worker.
