My wierd roadgeek mind started thinking about this: what are some examples of city or town names ending with the abbreviation of their state?
Here are some I have thought of:

Adak; Aniak; Emmonak; Kodiak, AK (there are a few others I left out)
Santa Monica; Manteca, CA
Frisco, CO
Dahlonega, GA
Albany, NY
Aliquippa, PA

Others???

Coincidentally, I came across one yesterday where the inclusion of the state abbreviation was intentional: Claycomo, MO (located in Clay County, MO). I suppose that also makes it a little redundant.

Is this the only example that's also intentional?

bzzt, wrong.  Okay is not in Aysen Region, Chile, and we all know that the two-letter postal abbreviation for Alanland is GOAT.

I'm surprised that you didn't include Boston in your above-list.  :sombrero:

Here's one I'm surprised nobody thought of yet:

Philadelphia, IA

Off NE2's list, Tennga and Illmo look pretty intentional to me. :)

Umm... because it doesn't exist? (If you could prove me wrong, that would be awesome)

Albia, IA does, though.
Davenport, IA -> Valparaiso, IN -> Ames, IA -> Orlando, FL -> Gainesville, FL -> Evansville, IN

I'm going to assume that nowhere in the US does a city/town end with 'NJ'. Actually, does any word end with J?

No common words in English end with the letter j or the letter v.

If you want to use the long abbreviation, there's Florala, Ala.

only one I can think of offhand is "hajj" and that is definitely an import.
