From the early inhabitants of the original 13 colonies, to the pioneers who moved West and South as America expanded, there was one common problem when it came to establishing new settlements: What would they name their city?
Some US cities and towns were named after a founder, a nearby geological feature, or a place the settlers had come from, but others had very unusual names.
