oh I forgot.....St. Tammany Parish, LA
In 1810, President James Madison claimed West Florida as part of Louisiana and sent William C. C. Claiborne to claim the territory. Claiborne established the boundaries of the Florida Parishes. He created St. Tammany Parish and named it after the Delaware Indian Chief Tamanend (c.1628-1698), who made peace with William Penn and was generally renowned for his goodness.[6] Among the nine Louisiana parishes (counties) named for "saints" (see "List of parishes of Louisiana"), St. Tammany is the only one whose eponym is not a saint as recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, the ecclesiastical parishes of which formed the basis for civil parishes prior to statehood. In fact, Tamanend is not known to have been a Christian, and was certainly not a Roman Catholic. However, he became popularly revered as an "American patron saint"[citation needed] in the post-Revolutionary period (long after his death).
In Oklahoma I like Troy, Corn and Cobb. 😀

There is a Martha and George Washington.
And a Mount Vernon Washington.
Lehi, Nephi, Manti, Ephraim, Moab, Moroni
They wanted to name the state Columbia; but decided to go with Washington so as not to be confused with The District of Columbia.....:-/ o.O

Don't forget DROP, TEXAS. Yes there is a sign on Highway 377 that says, Drop 5 miles.
Probably caused some brake tapping a few times.
