City/town names including intermediate cardinal directions

[theline]

I was perusing my newly-arrived official Arizona highway map this morning, and I noticed an odd name for a city, Sierra Vista Southeast. It's southeast of Sierra Vista, of course. I'm familiar with dozens (hundreds?) of pairs involving cardinal directions (St. Louis/East St. Louis, Chicago/East Chicago, etc.) but I've never seen one involving an intermediate cardinal direction. Having the direction at the end of the name is also an odd affectation too.

Are there other examples of either the intermediate direction in a city or town name or any direction at the end of the name? I tried searching, but came up with a lot of streets and business places, but no cities or towns.

North East, MD may or may not be what you're looking for.

North East, MD may or may not be what you're looking for.

Also Southeast and Northeast, NY.

Those will do until we get something closer. I'm thinking more like the example, where there was already a city named Sierra Vista, and somebody decided to get really specific in naming the new city near there, using the intermediate direction Southeast. Most of us would have settled for South Sierra Vista or East Sierra Vista.

I just found this one by mistake, but it doesn't follow the examples you listed. Northwest, NC

Is Sierra Vista Southeast an actual municipality, or just a postal city/CDP? Or perhaps it started out as the latter and was later incorporated with the post office's/census's name retained?

Also North East, Pa., which might well be the northernmost incorporated place in the Keystone State, but any rational determination would actually put it in the western part of the state.

Well, according to Wikipedia (not always the most authoritative source, but good enough for my purposes) Sierra Vista Southeast is a CDP (census-designated place) rather than a municipality. I was fooled by the fact that the official Arizona highway map makes no distinction.

So, to revise my original question: Sierra Vista Southeast is not a municipality, but can anyone find a municipality with a similar name, adding an intermediate cardinal direction to the name of another municipality?

Also North East, Pa., which might well be the northernmost incorporated place in the Keystone State, but any rational determination would actually put it in the western part of the state.

Names such as North East, Pa., while interesting, don't quite do it. I am amused though that it does indeed seem to be the northernmost municipality in the state.

Thanks to all. The search continues.
