Palm Beach, Florida, is home to a little over 9,000 people. West Palm Beach, on the other hand, has a population of about 117,000 - in other words, about 13 times as big.

Throughout the country, what are some other examples of cities or towns that have a prefix in their name, based on a nearby “non-prefixed” town name - but the town with the prefix is larger, as it is with WPB?

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.
