America filled with Patriotic place names The nation is filled with patriotically named places. Some share names with prominent historical figures (Madison, Wisconsin, or Jeffersontown, Kentucky) while others are named for patriotic concepts or ideals (Yankee Springs, Michigan, or Independence, Kansas). As of July 2024, 164 U.S. places and 126 counties or county equivalents shared at least part of their name with one of the following Founding Fathers: Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, or John Jay (Figure 1). About 0.8% of incorporated places and 4.0% of counties share at least part of their name with a founding father. "Place" refers to most cities, towns, villages and boroughs. George Washington is the only founding father after whom a state is named. And that state even has a small city named George. The 2020 Census population of George, Washington: 809. Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, is also named in his honor. As of July 2024, there were 55 incorporated places with patriotic names. Topping the list: "Liberty" with "Independence" a distant second (Figure 2). The list also includes places with names containing a patriotic reference like Libertyville, Illinois, and Federal Heights, Colorado. This story was posted on 2025-07-04 01:41:41
