New Jersey has six towns named for the father of our country Washington. One changed is name a few years ago.

In New Jersey, Washington can lay claim to another first. He’s number one in names selected for the state’s 566 municipalities. Bergen, Burlington, Gloucester, Morris and Warren counties all have a Washington Township. Warren also has a Washington Borough surrounded—naturally—by Washington Township. The largest is Gloucester County’s Washington, with 52,096 people; the smallest is the Washington in Burlington, with a population of 649. New Jersey had a sixth Washington Township in Mercer County until 2008, when voters there approved a name change to Robbinsville.

Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Illinois has plenty of such cities.

Carthage
Paris
Cuba
Canton
Metropolis
Rome
Etc...

My two favorites, though: Athens, pronounced "Ay-thins" and San Jose, pronounced, you guessed it, "San Joes."

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Don't you all have a Versailles, as well?

Well, I'll be. According to the internet, MO and IL both have a Versailles. I suspect they are both pronounced vur-sales.
