Not only that, but each Urbana is the seat of its respective Champaign County.

(Then Illinois flips it with Clinton in DeWitt County.)

Essex Fells. Falls = water going down. Fells = various kinds of high ground.
Ok, thanks. I must've misread the name.

Common mistake even in NJ.
Essex County VT and NJ both contain a Bloomfield. Does that work?
Getting back to the framer's intent,
Union County/Borough, NJ
Union County/Township, PA
Fayetteville, Fayette County, Georgia
Fayetteville, Fayette County, West Virginia
Fayetteville, Fayette County, Texas
The Marquis sure did leave a mark.

Absolutely!
Removed the posts that don't meet the criteria, since there was so many of them it was causing other people to plunge off the Cliff of Not Understanding the Topic like lemmings.
For clarification's sake, the thread is looking for instances where counties with the same name in different states also contain cities of the same name in different states (which may or may not be the same as the county name). Not counties which contain a city of the same name–there's hundreds of those, and is probably the most common method of naming a county.

No, just found it interesting there's another DeKalb Co. in the US. DeKalb in DeKalb is the only occurrence

Though spelled the same, they are pronounced differently. The one in GA does not pronounce the "L". ("De Cab" there)

In fairness, the thread title could have been clearer. Not without being really long, but "in different states" in there somewhere would have helped.
This is the price of ever more arcane and super-specific thread subjects.
If a mod has already stepped in, people should get the picture.

Common mistake even in NJ.
Essex Fells is named after John Fell, a local developer, believe it or not because of that definition is where Fells came from. So technically, it's named after a person and the definition.
Burlington County NJ has Burlington Township and Burlington City (named "city" to differentiate it from the township) and Burlington Coat factory is named after the city. Was the county seat of Burlington County until 1796 when it was moved to Mount Holly (then Northampton) to give it a more central location.
What we're looking for is: city X in county Y in state A; city X in county Y in state B; A ≠ B. More interesting if also X ≠ Y.
Could the OP or an admin maybe change the thread title for clarity please?
PA did a great job of naming some counties after the English county their seat was in.
Reading, Berks
Carlisle, Cumberland
Buckingham, Bucks (seat has since changed, though a different Buckingham remains in the PA county)
Chalfont and Wycombe are also places in both Bucks, though in England its more several different places with that name (Chalfont St Giles, Chalfont St Peter; High Wycombe, West Wycombe, Chipping Wycombe).
In a similar vein of fitting the pattern relationally if not literally:
London ON and London GB are both on rivers called Thames.
There is a Princeton in both Mercer county, WV and NJ.
There is a Wyoming in both Wyoming county, WV and NY.

I've changed the name. Perhaps, it'll give some clarity. But I also gave examples of the two Champaign counties in Illinois and Ohio, both containing cities named Urbana.

Jasper County, IL and Jasper County, IA both have county seats named Newton.
I've noticed that with Jasper and Newton. Either there's both a Jasper County and a Newton County next to each other (Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Texas), or there's a Newton in Jasper County (Illinois, Iowa) or a Jasper in Newton County (Arkansas).

I noticed this long ago. Turns out they're named after the same Jasper and Newton:
