Where should I try to go for a #pota activation that is inside of Smoky mountain national Park and at least reasonably close?

Largest USA cities/towns named for an historic residence

In the case of this blogpost, they come from historic/famous residences. In the list below are ten famous residences that have been applied to the name of a city or town in the United States. They are:
- George Washington’s home/estate of Mount Vernon in northern Virgina
- Thomas Jefferson’s home/estate of Monticello in central Virginia
- Andrew Jackson’s home/estate, The Hermitage, in central Tennessee
- Ashland, the home/estate of statesman and three-time presidential candidate, Henry Clay, located near Lexington, KY
- Timonium Mansion and Marc Anthony’s incomplete Timonium Palace in Egypt.
- George Vanderbilt’s Biltmore home/estate near Asheville, North Carolina
- Blenheim Palace in England
- Longwood House on the island of St. Helena – added 11/22/24 – Thank you, Dan
- The Palace of Versailles in France
- Windsor Castle in England
It was actually a bit surprising not to find more cities/towns named for presidential homes or other famous/historic residences, particularly the White House. If any have been missed, pleased let us know and they will be added. Enjoy the list. Peace!
