Suburbhater ~ Since America is an Immigrant country most of our city names are from other countries also !! Only exception is the American Indian who lived here first and got royally screwed, but hey, we named military helicopters after their tribes !! ;(
just to add to this all - there is a tiny town called Paris in Ontario (of course it is not far from London, Stratford, Woodstock, Tavistock, Edinburgh, Dublin, even a place once known as Berlin Ontario - we took most of our town names from European cities.
O Kate Ne soyez surtout pas désolée. J'adore apprendre de nouvelles choses. Je vous dis plutôt merci. - O Kate Do not be sorry. I love learning new things. I say thank you instead. ☆
When I traveled I would come across Cities with the same name here in USA. We probably can't claim most of our city names as original, for instance Dublin & Paris are in quite a few states. I have researched my little city of Rocklin and I have not found any other state that has a city or town called Rocklin. The Transcontinental Railroad and specifically the Pacific Railroad named my city because of the mining of Granite. Rocklin was their fueling & water station for Northern California, now it is Roseville because of the need to expand.
When my Father passed away in 1976 in Redding, CA. I called Ruhkala Granite Quarry in Rocklin and asked them to create a double headstone so my parents would have a little bit of Rocklin forever. I went to High School with the Ruhkala boys and became good friends because my boyfriend hung out with them and his Mom was friends with Peggy Ruhkala their Mom.
Sorry about the little lesson on Rocklin !! I get carried away sometimes !!
Hugs and have a wonderful weekend dear Lili Marie and friends !!! HalfMoonRun
