States that have city names the same as large/fairly-sized cities from another

[adventurernumber1]

Anybody know of any states that have many cities the same names as large/fairly-sized cities from another? For example, Georgia has four cities named Nashville, Knoxville, Bristol, and Jackson, which are all large and fairly-sized cities in Tennessee.

There's a Trenton MI, but that's nowhere near as major as Trenton NJ (despite what everyone thinks about it...).

[empirestate]

Atlanta, GA, TX, LA.

Paris, TX, France

Athens, GA, LA

There is also a Paris in TN, an Atlanta in ID (very small and in the mountains but there is), and an Athens in TN.

There's a George Jones song ("We're Not the Jet Set") that always trips me up mentally. It mentions "Rome, Georgia; Athens, Texas; and Paris, Tennessee", which are never the cities my brain wants to hear. Seems to me it should be Athens, Georgia; Paris, Texas; and Rome, well, also Georgia. 

Lexington NC, SC, & VA

Massachusetts also has a relatively important one of these...

Oh, and we've made it surprisingly far in this thread without hearing from Charleston, SC/WV!

But only one of them is a cesspit of evil that makes Mr. Burns look good.  Take a guess as it which one.  Hint: It's the only one that's a state capital.

Portland, OR and ME (600000, 65000)
Burlington, VT and MA (45000, 20000)
Dover, DE and NH (35000, 20000)

Still, Springfield probably wins with 150000 from both MO and MA.
