Going down Wikipedia’s list of municipalities in Georgia I see Garden City, Iron City, Junction City, Lake City, Lumber City, Mountain City, Peachtree City, Ray City, Sale City, Twin City, and Union City. Despite the “city” element, a good number of them are towns of a few hundred people and wouldn’t be easy to spot on a map
Edit: same method for Hawai’i shows Hawaiian Acres, Hawaiian Paradise Park, Hawaiian Ocean View, and Hawaiian Beaches
I’m sorry but you americans are so uncreative for town names. Couldn’t you have just kept whatever the natives called that land, because the american names are so boring.
Indigenous names are heavily used. Half the states have Native American derived names, a much larger proportion than I thought. Pre-European population density was much lower, though so there were a lot fewer settlements to name.
