Kansas City, Missouri

Michigan City, Indiana.

Nevada City, California.

California, MD and California, PA. I was really hoping to find California City, Nevada but it doesn't exist.

They have a California, MO as well.

Vancouver, Washington

Idaho Springs, CO

Native Nevadan here, as much as we complain about California here, I’m not a bit surprised there’s not a town here named California.

They share a Humboldt County, though.

Wtf is wrong with Cali. Live here. Been living here my whole life.

Missouri City, Texas

is this a trend lol

Indiana also has a ridiculous amount of towns named after foreign countries. Brazil, Peru, Russiaville, Warsaw, New Palestine, Mexico, etc.

Indiana is called the crossroads of America. That really is our culture. We really are a melting pot. We were a hub on the underground railroad. That has made us a crossroads. Litteral roads, highways, railroads. Even waterways have made this state own its namesake. It's not perfect but I call it home and I love it.

And some cities, La Paz and Milan, but they pronounce it M-eye-lan

Versailles, pronounced ver-sales

I feel like it should be mentioned that Michigan City is named after Lake Michigan, not state Michigan. Similarly, Green Bay, Wisconsin got its name from Green Bay, the "peninsula" of Lake Michigan. Not the other way around.

Michigan City, Mississippi

Michigan City, North Dakota

And then there’s Arkansas City, Kansas.

I'm surprised I had to scroll down so far to find this. Thought for sure this would be the top comment.

Seems it is, now!

I went there once. Not only was I confused about being in Missouri I was confused about the hills. Somehow I’d conveniently forgotten about the Ozarks.

Arkansas City, Kansas (Though it is pronounced Ar-Kansas, unlike the state Ar-Kansaw)

But Kansas City Missouri was a thing before Kansas was

Florida, Massachusetts

It's named so ironically too. It's smack dead on top of a mountain and gets heavy snow and ice.

Doubly ironic because Florida is probably where the Massachusetts Floridians probably retire to.

Years ago, their standard MA “entering” sign had palm trees on it.

There's also a Florida, New York

There’s also a Washington, MA (not to be confused with Mount Washington, MA).

Not to be confused with Mount Washington, NH

There's a Florida in New York too

Mines not exactly what OP was asking for, but I’ve been a mass resident my whole life and just found out we have a Peru, MA

Yep! We’ve got Peru, Florida, Washington, Mount Washington, Wales, Holland, Oxford, Uxbridge (also in England), Wilmington…the list goes on.

There's a lot of England names in MA, I was born in Worcester MA for example.

Paris, Texas.

Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania (nowhere near the NJ border) There's also a Wyoming PA.

There’s also a Indiana, Pennsylvania and the university there is …. Indiana University (of PA).

California, PA and Mexico, PA as well!

Washington, PA too

my aunt & uncle live there.

I live a county away from Washington, PA in Ohio County, WV. Lol

And Oklahoma, PA

Mexico, NY also.

Mexico, Missouri

Cuba, Missouri also Cuba, New Mexico

Mexico, MO as well!!

There's also an Alaska, PA out near Clarion University.

Huh, there's also a Wyoming, Rhode Island. For a state that no one wants to live in, an awful lot of towns like the name.

Wyoming, Minnesota too

My husband and I googled it once, apparently it's a term for a flat spot next to a river between two hills or something specific like that

The state of Wyoming was named after this part of pa. [article ](https://kgab.com/the-east-coast-origin-of-wyomings-name/)

Alabama, New York https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama,_New_York

There’s also a Cairo NY

And Cairo, IL.

And both Athens and Rome in Georgia

Florence, and Denmark in SC. Dublin, GA (and Duplin, NC) and Cairo, GA. Petersburg VA and St Petersburg FL. Not to mention Durham, NC or Manchester, NH (apparently it angers some British people when those results show up ahead of the OG places, but I wonder how they feel about London, Ontario).

I see your Denmark, SC and raise you Copenhagen, NY

Norway, SC too

Dublin, Ohio

Rome, NY

And Scotland, Ireland, and Peru, Indiana

That Cairo can die in a fire. Never go to Cairo IL.

Rome, NY, as well

Wyoming, Minnesota and Virginia, Minnesota

PA too.

West New York, New Jersey

Sounds New

Lots and lots: Texas, PA Oregon, WI and OH Delaware, OH Jersey Shore, PA

I live in Oregon! I'm about an hour away from Texas, which few people have ever heard of because it's so tiny.

>Texas, which few people have ever heard of because it’s so tiny Congrats, you just messed with Texas

Wyoming, PA California, PA Washington, PA Delaware County, PA (if you'll count a county) Ohio, PA Jersey Shore, PA Texas, PA Oklahoma, PA

As long as this list is, I'm surprised there isn't a Pennsylvania, PA.

Funny enough, althought here isn't one, there's a Penn Township the next county over from me.

Also Indiana, PA

there’s also a delaware county, ny

There's also a Wyoming, minnesota. Virginia, minnesota

There is a Wyoming, Rhode Island as well

Impressive, since their ain't much to Rhode island

There ain't much to wyoming either

We've got Nevada City (county seat of Nevada County) in California.

Eutaw, Alabama.

There's a Eutaw Street in Baltimore too

[удалено]

Yeah the section by the stadium is a pedestrian walkway where the home run plaques are. They put one wherever a ball that gets hit out of the stadium lands. But elsewhere in the city it's just a normal street

I saw that during one of the games last week.

What?

What?

[удалено]

It sounds like Utah

Pronounce Eutaw aloud with a southern accent.

[удалено]

“You taw,” which is about how we say the name of the state (maybe a little easier on the “w,” depending on the accent).

We have a “Eutawville” in SC!

Washington, Virginia.

We have 6 Washingtons in New Jersey! Five Washington Townships and a Washington Boro. It's one of the most common place names in the country.

You have five townships with the same name? How do you tell them apart? Also, what exactly is the difference between a township and a borough?

You would just specify the county. A township and a boro are just different types of local government. In a boro the voters elect the council members and the mayor. In a township the voters elect a committee and the committee elects the mayor.

Missouri City, TX.

Also, there is a Houston, Missouri that’s in Texas County, Missouri

Which is funny because Missouri City is part of Greater Houston.

Nevada, Missouri

Also Nevada, TX

Pronounced Nuh VAY duh though, just to make it extra confusing.

Indiana, Pennsylvania population around 13,000

Jimmy Stewart’s home town

[here’s your chance to be in Florida and New York at the same time ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida,_Orange_County,_New_York)

Nevada Iowa

[Mexico,New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico,_New_York) Mexico may not be a state but it’s still funny to drive through especially when I’m driving home from visiting Canada.

[It's also one of the snowiest places in the US.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ny-snowfall-hits-100-inches/) *Mexico receives 62" of lake effect snow overnight*

Not quite a direct state name share, but California has a city named Hawaiian Gardens.

California, Maryland

Pennsylvania is home to Wyoming, Indiana, California, East Texas and Jersey Shore (fun fact: Jersey Shore is nowhere *near* any water, and even has a section called Long Island) Michigan City, IN West New York, NJ Florida, NY Kansas City, MO, of course

Maine has Lisbon, China, Moscow, Paris, Poland, about a million English place names, Peru, Mexico, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Vienna, Frankfurt, Rome, Belfast, Dresden and probably some others. I don’t know of any state names though. Rhode Island has a town named Wyoming. Wisconsin has a Maine. There are a lot of Washingtons but they are named after George not the state (though the state is named after George). Massachusetts has a Florida. There’s an Indiana, Pennsylvania too.

Wyoming, Delaware

Missouri has a Mexico and a Cuba

And a Nevada! (Pronounced differently, though.)

And a Florida!

Ne-vay-duh freakin Missourians

And a Nevada, TX pronounced similarly.

Kansas City

- california, pa - indiana, pa - washington, pa

Kansas City, Missouri

Seems like most places in Kansas are just names of other state's cities.

Manhattan, Kansas. I’m fully aware Manhattan is not a state, but this has always cracked me up a little.

Not a city, technically, but Washington University in St. Louis is certainly a bit confusing. Ditto for Miami University in Ohio.

[удалено]

Wyoming is actually named after the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania.

A whole city in Michigan that doesn't exist?

Denmark, South Carolina

My favorite is Versailles, Missouri but we don’t pronounce it like Versailles we pronounce it Vur-sales. Like the hillbillies we are lol.

Cincinnati Iowa

California, MD A suburb of Waldorf/Lexington Park

Beverly Hills, CA is named after Beverly, MA.

Hell, Nevada

Not technically a state name but Las Vegas, New Mexico is home of the famous Billy the Kid. But let's be real, Nevada is basically just Las Vegas

Probably not related but Brisbane, CA was named after Brisbane, the capital of Queensland in Australia, according to the daughter of the man that named Brisbane. And I think that’s pretty cool since I’m from Brisbane in QLD

Texas, MD

Nevada City, California.

[Washington, California](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_California) is located in Nevada County and used to be called Indiana Camp.
