    Largest USA cities/towns named for an historic residence

    Place names can come from a variety of sources including former home towns, famous persons, family members, town founders, and a variety of other sources. 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:

    Mount Vernon – Source: mountvernon.org Monticello – Source: cntraveler.com

    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!

    *Mount Vernon, OR is not named for George Washington’s home.

    *Versailles, KY was named after the city not the palace in France.

    *White House, TN is not named for the residence in Washington, DC. Neither are the towns of Whitehouse in Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio, or Texas.

    *Alhambra CA and Alhambra, IL were both derived from Washington Irving’s book, Tales of Alhambra, which is about the Alhambra Palace in Spain. – Thank you, Dan!
