Georgia could have dominated this list too: Athens, Rome, Macon, Cairo, Springfield, Columbus, Gainesville, Albany... heck, even the tiny town of Swainsboro was once called Paris.
it's amazing that there are any original city names at all.
Canada is pretty good at it too. I live within two hours of Paris, London, Stratford, Waterloo, Scotland, Delaware, Avon, and Woodstock. Many of these are situated on the Thames River. All in Ontario.
Back in the early 1970s, when Nixon shocked the world by opening up relations with the People's Republic of China through ping pong diplomacy, one of the history professors at my school planned to make his first million by producing table tennis rackets with a picture of Mao on one side and the inscription "Made in China" on the other. China, Maine, that is. He never did, unfortunately.
Actually made a few quizes on places in the USA with the same name as capitals in Europe, Africa and South America :). Might be fun for those who liked this one.
Too US-centric this time. 16/20 are located in US. It is not perfect, but ok. The problem is that 7/20 are located solely in different US states, but not in any other country, it is way too big percentage.
What about Cordoba, Valencia, Tripoli, Guadalajara, perhaps London or Venice...
South Africa has got a crazy mixture of place names .. Bethlehem, east London, Dundee, glencoe, Newcastle. (to pick a random section of the eastern cape)
