Numbers that are town names

[CNGL-Leudimin]

If allowing other languages:

Lima, OH

Which number is and in which language?

Also, if adding another words to the numbers is allowed, across the provincial border from Ershisan there is Ershiwu (25) Wan. Here is a satellite pic, from left to right: G59 expressway, '23' (Ershisan), some railroad, the Great Wall (At this point it forms the Inner Mongolia/Shanxi border) and '25 Wan' (Ershiwu Wan). For some reason in China Google Maps is misaligned, the sat pic is at the correct position.

There are quite a few numbers here in Arkansas. I think they just got lazy.

If you allow letters dropped in here and there, Maine's probably got more numbered divisions than named.

Lima, OH

Last time I looked, Lima is merely Spanish for Lime, not a number.

Now, if we were talking about towns named after fruit...

It means "five" in several obscure languages. Definitely not in Spanish, though.

I think we should speak to "languages commonly spoken within the jurisdiction at the time of naming".

so if in California there's a place called Treinta y Tres or whatever, then I'll take it.  (there isn't, as far as I know.)

I was wanting numbers only.

So much for T2 R9, Maine.

Dropped into a vat of molten metal. What a way to go.

I'd say anything that was deliberately chosen for being a number, rather than names that are coincidentally a number in buttfuck language.

Oh, there are a hundred others like him you'd never be able to distinguish.  It's not like we're talking a specialty item like Andover West Surplus or Greenlaw Chopping.

If Lima is allowed, then so is Hamar, Norway (Basque for 10).

I read on a sign about 56, AR's history and it said it was named after the school district number they were located in at the time.
