North American Place Names

For place name week, I thought I’d stay North American! These names are broken down by Canadian city, American city and American state. Place names are a trend I love and a few of these have bounces on and off my lists!

US States
Alaska
Georgia
Indiana
Virginia

Canadian Cities
Victoria
Kingston

US Cities
Dallas
Austin
Charlotte
Denver
Raleigh


            Although these are my favorite North American place names, I love place names from all over the globe. Other favorites of mine include India and Valencia (g) and Versailles and London (b). What are your favorite place names?
