Used to seeing Cityname, State. But today I saw Countryname, State with Jamaica, Vermont. Huh. Looked it up and confirmed that really is a town in the United States of America. Thought that was funny.

There's two Canadas in America, but the bizarre one is like 14 Parises (but they don't count here). Also:

• Peru, IN / Peru, IL / Peru, NY / Peru, Maine
• Mexico, MO / Mexico, NY / Mexico, Maine
• Cuba, MO / Cuba, NY / Cuba, AL / Cuba, NM
• Columbia, MO / Columbia, SC / Columbia, MD - Columbia is everywhere (technically old poetic name for America, but same root as Colombia)
• Panama City, FL / Panama, IA / Panama, OK
• Brazil, IN
• Lebanon, TN / Lebanon, PA / Lebanon, OR / Lebanon, OH / Lebanon, NJ
• Palestine, TX / Palestine, IL / Palestine, OH
• Jordan, MN / Jordan, MT / Jordan, NJ
• Chad, WV
• Jamaica, Queens, NY / Jamaica, IA / Jamaica, VT
• China, ME / China, TX / China Township, MI
• Italy, TX / Italy, NY
• Greece, NY (suburb of Rochester)
• Poland, OH / Poland, ME / Poland, NY
• Norway, ME / Norway, MI / Norway, SC
• Sweden, NY / Sweden, ME
• Denmark, SC / Denmark, ME / Denmark, WI
• Holland, MI
• England, AR
• Ireland, IN
• Scotland, TX / Scotland, SD
• Wales, WI / Wales, ME
• Bolivia, NC

not quite the same but there is a paris illinois and suppesdely like 20 strewn around the us.

Fun fact, Lebanon, Ohio is locally pronounced Leb-anen or sometimes Leb-nen.

A few years ago I was surprised to get an address from a customer in Yukon, Oklahoma, which happens to be located in Canadian County. It’s known as the Czech capital of Oklahoma.

Thanks for the list. I wonder if there is a name for this type of occurrence?

On another note,

Columbia is everywhere (technically old poetic name for America, but same root as Colombia)

Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white, and blue.
When borne by the red, white, and blue.

"cañada" with the accent over the "n" in Spanish means "gully" or "cattle track" so there's a freeway exit for "Cañada Road" that I drive past every now and then.

Jamaica is actually a super cute town and a great place to go camping as well 👍

Gotta love Georgia as well - country/state name as town name, even better!!

You forgot Lebanon, VA! I know about that one.

Also the excellent series China, IL

These are so fun to me.

There is a Norway, Illinois as well! It did, in fact, have a large Norwegian population. It’s the site of the state of Illinois’s Norwegian Settlers Memorial.

Don’t get me started on foreign city names, too. In Illinois there’s an Athens (ay-thens), a Marseilles (marr-sales) and a Cairo (Kay-Roh) Illinois. Pekin, of course (named after Peking, China). There’s also a Pekin, Ohio.
