Title: States that have city names the same as large/fairly-sized cities from another
Post by: adventurernumber1 on August 20, 2014, 10:51:58 PM
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 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.  :)

Lots of small towns in Kentucky have the same name as other, larger cities.

The joke around here is that if anyone goes to London, they're going to see the queen.

Dayton, Ky. is a suburb of Cincinnati, but I doubt it ever gets confused with Dayton, Ohio.

Someone upthread mentioned Lexington VA/NC/SC. Lexington, Ky. and Lexington, Va., are both served by I-64 and US 60.

We even have a few communities named after other states: California (northern Kentucky) and Texas (central Kentucky) are two I can think of. We even have a Canada, in Pike County, and there is a state highway garage there that is commonly referred to as "Canada Maintenance."

there is a Canton in Massachusetts.  I grew up there.  there's one in Connecticut, too.  they were our major political enemies due to some perceived slight against one of our school administrators many years before my time.

Canton, OH seems to be the original one - indeed named after the place in China.

There is a Jacksonville near the Shelby/Franklin county line.

Frankfort, the state capital, is the anglicized version of Frankfurt, the city in Germany.

It has been overtaken by Lexington, but Athens (pronounced with a long "A") is in Fayette County and is a separate destination on at least one exit on I-75.

What about Columbus, OH and Columbus, IN?  When Columbus, OH was control city for I-70 in Indy they used to have to use the "OH" in addition to the "Columbus" name to avoid confusion among the two routes.  Hence that is why Washington, PA is also signed with "PA" to avoid confusion with Washington, DC.

Then you have Columbus, GA as well.

Also need I say that you have a Vancouver, WA and Vancouver, BC both along the I-5 corridor.

But they're not pronounced the same.  The one in MI puts the emphasis on the last syllable.


When people started settling places, they often named their new home after the old one.  I believe Troy MI is named after Troy NY.

Other towns picked names of existing cities to hopefully gain some essence they could use in promoting themselves, which is why we see copies named London, Paris, Athens, Rome ...

And some are named after famous people, like Washington.

And some where created in hopefulness, like Climax.

Yet others were simply named for places, like Grand Rapids.  Others for people and places (Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit comes to mind) and the people fell out of the name.

Indiana has both a Nashville and Memphis, about 70 miles apart, both located near I-65.

Per Google maps, Louisville and Lexington in Mississippi are 70 miles apart.  Louisville and Lexington in Kentucky are 78 miles apart.  Mississippians pronounce Louisvile different, though.

Pittsburg,  ca and Pittsburgh,  PA.

On a more than a few occasions living in the Bay Area, I've mentioned Pittsburgh (like that my wife is a graduate of Pitt, or maybe something about the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, or whatever), and they assume I'm talking about Pittsburgh, CA. And when I clarify "PA" , I get this vacant sort of "Huh... there's a Pittsburg in Pennsylvania, too? Never knew that. Weird, man."

Yeah. Weird, man.

There's also a Pittsburg in New Hampshire.

St. Louis, OK.

Many of the towns along US-77 in south-central Oklahoma are named after towns in Pennsylvania, since the people who built the railroad were from Pennsylvania and used familiar names for the train stops along it. Examples include Ardmore, Paoli, and Wynnewood.

Off topic, but confusingly  there is a Blue Ridge Community College in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.  All unrelated.  Virginia also has a Southwest Virginia CC, while WV has Southern West Virginia CC.
