Russians that settled here and named towns. We have a few towns and states named after European things.

Because people from there named their settlements/towns after where they came from.

Its pretty are for two significant cities to share the same name. Only examples I can think of off the top of my head are Portland (Maine and Oregon), Charleston (SC and WV).
