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.
Off the top of my head:
Las Vegas NV & NM
Wilmington DE & NC
Greenville NC & SC
Lexington NC, SC, & VA
Rocky Mount, NC & VA
Somerville NJ and Somerville MA...
Denton DE and Denton TX
Newark NJ and Newark DE
Wyoming has a Boulder, an Arvada, a Superior, and a Centennial. All these place names are also suburbs of Denver, CO.
Baltimore, MD and Baltimore, OH
Atlanta, GA, TX, LA.
Paris, TX, France
Simsboro, TX, AR, LA

Only one Scottsdale and Tempe in the United States, though.

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

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. :)

There's also Trenton, GA as there is a Trenton, NJ, and it's not too far from me either.
there's a St. Johns (no apostrophe) in Arizona.
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.

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.

Regardless, this thread is about cities and not city/counties, so I suppose my point is moot anyways.

Dayton, KY is closer to Cincinnati than Dayton, OH.
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.
Tennessee also has a Dayton, and of course a Cleveland as well. And they are close enough together that they are both listed on the same sign for TN 60's exit on I-75, which was an amusing sight for this Ohioan.
a couple more...
Portsmouth (NH, OH, VA)
Bristol (mentioned in the OP as GA & TN)...also CT (where ESPN is based) and VA
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.

Charlotte, NC and Charlotte, MI
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.

Indiana has both a Nashville and Memphis, about 70 miles apart, both located near I-65. Memphis is not at the Nashville exit, but it is signed for Columbus and Bloomington. To get from Nashville to Memphis, you have to go through another city that shares its name with a musically-inclined city: Austin.
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.
New Britain, CT (9 miles southwest of Hartford)
New Britain, PA (northwest of Philadelphia)
New Britain, NY (hamlet or village in Columbia County)

If you really want to have fun, how about Interstate or US routes that pass through cities with the same name in different states -- not counting border towns like Kansas City, Bristol or Texarkana:
- US-50 passes through both Delta, Colorado and Delta, Utah (a distance of 317 miles between the two towns).
Others???

Something that amuses me is the number of places in Kentucky and West Virginia that share names with their mother state, Virginia.
Lexington, Danville and Ashland are three that I can readily think of in Kentucky. There's also a Roanoke in West Virginia.
West Virginia and Virginia share a Bluefield (quasi-twin cities), a Williamsburg (the WV one is a wide spot in the road in Greenbrier County), a Chesapeake (the WV one is a suburb of Charleston, named for the C&O Railroad, as is the Huntington suburb of Huntington, Chesapeake, Ohio), a Franklin, a Danville, a Salem (the WV one is home to one of the multiple Salem Colleges around the country, near Clarksburg), a Petersburg (the WV one is in Corridor H country) and a Herndon (the WV one is a nearly dead coal camp in Wyoming County). There is also a New Richmond in Wyoming County and a New Martinsville in Wetzel County). WV also has an Oak Hill, while Virginia has an Oak Hill Academy which is one of those military schools that kids get sent to.
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.

FTFY, and also for all who are in computers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Hills (the correct link) redirects to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Hills,_California.
As for roads going thru two same-named towns, I believe we had a thread about that before. I-70 serves both Salina UT and Salina KS.

This can be especially confusing in the Quad City area, with a Dixon in Scott County, IA, about 15 miles away from Davenport, and Dixon, IL, which is a larger town about 50 miles away from Davenport.

I-90 passes through Buffalo, WY, and Buffalo, NY. It also passes a couple miles to the south of both Rochester, MN, and Rochester, NY.
There is a Northridge Ohio according to Wikipedia and of course Northridge the Los Angeles district.

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.
I have heard that in Northern Ohio there are Connecticut place names from when it was a part of Connecticut. A glance at a map shows at least New London and Norwalk.
Norwalk Ct and Norwalk, CA in Los Angeles
Princetons in New Jersey and West Virginia; they're both in their state's respective Mercer County as well (though the latter is the county seat).

Ah yes. I am from this area, known as the Firelands. Citizens of Connecticut who's homes were burned by the British in the Revolutionary War were given land in north central Ohio just south of Lake Erie.
Numerous cities, villages & townships were named after their Connecticut counterparts:
Greenwich, New London, Norwalk, Plymouth, Danbury Twp, Fairfield Twp, Groton Twp, Lyme Twp, New Haven Twp, Norwich Twp, Oxford Twp, Ridgefield Twp
Wikipedia Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firelands
There are also a lot of "New" place names in Ohio as well:
New Albany, New Boston, New Concord, New Knoxville, New Pittsburgh, New Philadelphia, New Washington, etc.
Even though they aren't cities, Ariza, Cuba and Ariza, Spain. Guess which one was the destination of the roadtrip I did last Saturday :sombrero:.
