Soledad is one of my favorites, it means solitude in spanish. I also like Pismo Beach. What are your favorite city names? I have many that I like.

Wapakoneta, OH.  Also in Ohio is a town called Upper Sandusky, which from the sounds of it should lie somewhere in Lake Erie north of Sandusky.  Actually it's about 60 miles southwest of Sandusky.

Texline, TX and Texoma, OK

Also, Terry Shea, the reason is when early explorers came down the St. Lawrence into the Great Lakes, everything they encountered was called "Lower" and everything further 'up river' was "Upper". Same reason Quebec was called Lower Canada and Ontario was called Upper Canada.

I think that in cartography and geography "upper" refers to elevation rather than latitude.

Well that could have been a problem for them when the explorers reached Niagara Falls.  I'm not sure a small town in central Ohio would quite qualify for that explanation, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Well, Upper Sandusky is upriver on the Sandusky River.
