AnnapoliS

City in Maryland, USA. It is also the capitol of the state and is where the U.S. Naval Acedemy is located.

Azusa -- city in Southern California. If I remember from childhood correctly, the name of this city comes from the letters "A" to "Z" U.S.A. Azusa. At least that's what I remember my dad telling me how they came up with the name.

Toledo

Many cities all over the American continent are called Toledo, but I'm referring to the original one; a medieval city where muslims, jews and christians could live in peace for hundreds of years. These were happy days...

dragon1 - I heard that also. This is either fact or an urban legend. When I have a free moment, I'll try to do a search to verify/disprove this.

AberdeeN - a town in Maryland, USA

Can anyone give me an E or a T? (Not so I can phone home.) I'm chomping at the bit for two cities I'm dying to post.

EDIT: Never mind - I remembered we have the "funny geographical names" thread.
