Place names that are also English words

Place names are always Proper nouns. Here you'll have to guess some that coincide with a word in the English language that is not a Proper noun. Will you get all of them?
Some of these are one word (e.g. London if it was something other than a name), but others have two words(e.g. New York if it weren't only a place name)
