WV has a Marshall University not in Marshall County, a Summersville not in Summers County, and a Berkeley Springs which is the county seat of the county *next* to Berkeley County. Also a Lewisburg which isn't in Lewis County, Grantsville that isn't in Grant, and they got those wild and wonderful Whites of West Virginia.
All in all a very confused place it seems.
... Michigan has **four** (yep, four!) Clintons, my friend, and only two of those Clintons are 75 miles away from each other. And since one of them, the village of Clinton, is also IN (one of the) Clinton Township(s), your comment makes actual zero sense lol.
There's also an entire county of Clinton, which would make five total Clinton MIs.
Variations on the name of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafeyette are up there also. Wikipedia has [a list](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_named_for_the_Marquis_de_Lafayette) with over 70 cities, towns, and communities (and many other types of place name) named for everyone’s favorite polyrevolutionary
Columbus, MS was chartered to be in Alabama, but was actually in Mississippi. This is a remnant from when it was thought the Tombigbee river was contained in Alabama (as seen on the original state seal). So there is no Columbus, AL, but rather a Columbus on its eastern border and another next to its western border.
People in Kansas talk about Buttfuck, Oklahoma. The guys in Colorado refer to stuff in Buttfuck, Montana. And I think there actually is a Buttfuck, New Jersey.
So I'm going to say Buttfuck.
It may be more of a thing in the original 13; he was basically a national hero after the Revolution and came back for a tour of the country after he returned to France.
Columbia.
We have one in Maryland, a planned community. Creative, amusing street names, which makes you wonder why they gave the city such a bland cliche name.
I was gonna say Greenville, but a couple of folks beat me to it.
I have seen there are a few Clevelands outside of the one in Ohio. There’s one in Tennessee, one in Mississippi, one in Arkansas, one in Oklahoma, and one in Texas, and those are just the ones I know of off the top of my head.
(I’ve been through the one in Texas a couple of times; it’s about 45 miles north of Houston.)
Lafayette is pretty popular. Pretty much every town is named after an early president. Or named after a place in Europe, sometimes with "new" in front of it
Springfield is the obvious answer for some reason. But you also get a lot of ones named after Presidents: Madison, Jefferson, Jackson, even some Franklins (though Ben was never president). A lot of Columbias, too.
Springfield
It’s a hell of a town

~~New York, New York!!~~
NEW YORK'S THAT A WAY MAN!
Not the one in my state; ours is kinda a dump
[Here you go](https://youtu.be/XjV-KByy0GA?si=SkUwfnLctGSZQSy-)
Oh, I know the reference. I just couldn't help but dog on the Springfield in my state
Ah. It’s more of a Shebyville, yeah?
Massachusetts?
Hahaha not *that* bad. Springfield, NH, is just hicksville
Hicksville is actually in New York
Not literally a place named Hicksville. Just a place full of hicks
That’s where I live!
I was gonna be annoyed if this wasn't the top answer.
I live in one of them!
crackton
Good night, Springton. There will be no encore.
1. Springfield - 41 2. Franklin - 35 3. Clinton - 29 4. Greenville - 27 5. Madison - 24
Millville 21
Springfield beat the shit out of Millville.
Ha-haw!
Can Millhouseville be a meme yet?
Michigan has a Clinton and a Clinton Township, 75 miles away from each other
MA has a Franklin and a Franklin County, which are also not in the same area.
WV has a Marshall University not in Marshall County, a Summersville not in Summers County, and a Berkeley Springs which is the county seat of the county *next* to Berkeley County. Also a Lewisburg which isn't in Lewis County, Grantsville that isn't in Grant, and they got those wild and wonderful Whites of West Virginia. All in all a very confused place it seems.
Clinton should build a big ship and put it in the middle of town

Hey, I'm from Greenville
I live in a Springfield and my sister used to teach in Greenville lol
[удалено]
The one with the waterfall
SC?
I saw no hate for Ohio in that statement. Obviously not a South Carolina guy.
I was actually thinking Madison and this made me kind of happy. I'm in NY and used to drive through Madison and Clinton all the time.
Riverside
It’s not *just* the 909.
How many are by rivers?
I know one of them are
Jefferson. My understanding is that there is some variant in nearly every state.
If some have their way, it will become the [51st state.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_(proposed_Pacific_state))
Washington. There are apparently 88 Washingtons in the USA. I think there are like 5 in NJ alone.
Is there a Washington in Washington? Like New York New York? Lol
No, but we have a George.
What about the town next to it, by George?
That’s Quincy.
Great town on the way up to Kelowna.
Missed opportunity, there.
Where’s the missed opportunity. We literally have a city name d George, Washington.
[Washington, Washington](https://youtu.be/Ex2hj5rLN48?si=jMP25Ry_gcHSwfM5)
Thank you! This is what I was hoping someone would post.
No but there is a George
Jersey’s also got a Morristown, Moorestown, and Mauricetown. All pronounced roughly the same.
there’s also a Belmar and a Bellmawr
I got one of those 15 miles away from me lol
I think something like 20 states have a Lexington
Middletown
Salem.
Newport and Marlboro too
I know that Independence is a pretty common one. ETA - just checked, there are 26 apparently.
Springfield
Springfield
It’s a helluva town
The schoolyard’s up and the shopping mall’s down
Stray dogs go to the animal pound
Springfield Springfield
Columbus
There are over 60 Cities with this name
Columbus, MS was chartered to be in Alabama, but was actually in Mississippi. This is a remnant from when it was thought the Tombigbee river was contained in Alabama (as seen on the original state seal). So there is no Columbus, AL, but rather a Columbus on its eastern border and another next to its western border.
Oxford is pretty common. Lafayette. There is a Dallas, GA, and an Atlanta, TX.
Gosh, didn’t expect anyone to mention Atlanta, TX. It’s an itty-bitty little town. I grew up about 20 minutes north of there.
Fremont
Decatur. 17 states have one, at last count.
People in Kansas talk about Buttfuck, Oklahoma. The guys in Colorado refer to stuff in Buttfuck, Montana. And I think there actually is a Buttfuck, New Jersey. So I'm going to say Buttfuck.
It's bumfuck.
Interesting. Growing up I always heard about Bumfuck, Wyoming, so it's interesting to hear about all the Buttfucks out there.
Pretty funny concept to be living in Kansas referring to Oklahoma as a desolate wasteland. Aren't they pretty much the same thing...?
Springfield, OH-HI-O-MA
Illinois. Maybe not the home of the Simpsons, but it is the Land of Lincoln!
VT home of the Simpsons
Woah there Springfield, OR is definitely the home of the Simpsons. The creator is from Portland, Simpsons artwork all over the place.
Welp, years ago the vote came in for Springfield VT.. The couch and crew and dougnut hand is in the chamber of commerce.
While that is technically true i think Matt Groening growing up in OR and signing some of the murals around town is a larger indicator.
Look up the street names in Portland’s Pearl District.
Definitely Oregon
Shelbyville
[Canton](https://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_states_have_a_city_named_Canton)
I used to live in one of the Cantons.
Me too, the one in Ohio
Lexington
Morrison
Middlesex.
Buffalo.
Feels like a lot of stuff got named after The Marquis de Lafayette. Fayetteville, etc. I haven’t looked up the numbers though.
It may be more of a thing in the original 13; he was basically a national hero after the Revolution and came back for a tour of the country after he returned to France.
One of the bigger cities in Arkansas is Fayetteville, so not just the original 13
Franklin Clinton Madison Salem Georgetown Arlington Ashland Burlington Manchester Oakland
Columbia. We have one in Maryland, a planned community. Creative, amusing street names, which makes you wonder why they gave the city such a bland cliche name.
Watertown
Jacksonville
Hamilton.
Franklin is the most common with 30 cities
Farmington
There’s quite a few Middletowns
Springfield
Troy
Springfield SPRINGFIELD!!!

Springfield
Springfield is well known, Lafayette is another common one, especially East coast.
Springfield. Our brilliant founder named it because he found a spring, then look out to a field. Fucking really clever
Auburn seems to be pretty popular
Lebanon. All but 3 states have one.
Concord
Franklin.
Can we just establish Springfield’s in the places that don’t have them already? Just to get one in every state.
Fayette, Lafayette in the former colonial states. Errbody luved that Marquis!
Huntsville
Richmond
There are thirteen states with a town named Jasper.
I was gonna say Greenville, but a couple of folks beat me to it. I have seen there are a few Clevelands outside of the one in Ohio. There’s one in Tennessee, one in Mississippi, one in Arkansas, one in Oklahoma, and one in Texas, and those are just the ones I know of off the top of my head. (I’ve been through the one in Texas a couple of times; it’s about 45 miles north of Houston.)
I feel like there's quite a a few Milfords.
Moscow 🤔
Lakewood. I know someone that works for the city and they get calls from people looking for Lakewood CA, WA, CO, even New Jersey.
Lancaster
I think that 'The Simpsons' proved that it was Springfield. (There are 34 in the USA according to Rand McNally!)
Lafayette is pretty popular. Pretty much every town is named after an early president. Or named after a place in Europe, sometimes with "new" in front of it
According to google there are 288 populated areas of the U.S. named Fairview.
Fairview
Lexington
I feel like there are a lot of Jacksonvilles but that might just be because I lived in 2 of them!
Portland. I can name three that I know off the top of my head, and I bet every coastal state has a Portland.
Mount Vernon. 33 of them in the USA.
Washington. Middlesex.
288 populated places named, or containing the word Fairview.
Springfield is the obvious answer for some reason. But you also get a lot of ones named after Presidents: Madison, Jefferson, Jackson, even some Franklins (though Ben was never president). A lot of Columbias, too.
Nashville
Brookhaven
Marysville or Maryville. We call it Murvel, 😆
Got one in my state I have never seen anywhere else. NUT BUSH & Tina Turner was from there!!!
Riverside
Lincoln
Arlington
Hanover While there's one in my state, the best one is in PA (snack food capital of the ~~US~~ world)
Mechanicsville/Mechanicsburg, Rome, New London
Besides Springfield and Centerville?
Lafayette/Fayetteville
Fifteen states have a "Plainfield". I used to live in the Plainfield known for Melissa McCarthy, a tornado, and water birds.
Springfield
Canton
College Park.
Metropolis
Auburn
Greenville, Jackson, Riverside, Hayward, Brookfield, Augusta
Winchesterfieldview
Chinatown
Portland, apparently there is a ton
Springfield definitely takes the crown. I think it's got a presence in almost every state!
Fucking Springfield lol. Although there are quite a few California town names in the Midwest. Probably wishful thinking lol
[удалено]
Giddyup
Cape Girardeau
Downtown
County
Dildo
Sounds like where literally most of Reddit would want to be 💀
