    York isn’t just a city in England, it’s also a city in Pennsylvania.

    Also, the existence of New Caledonia and New Britain tells me it’s not just Americans doing this.

      Can’t believe those Americans, capturing New Netherland from the Dutch and renaming it in honor of the Duke of York. Just like an American to do that

      I believe there’s also a New London, pop 15 plus someone’s dog, which shows a distinct lack of imagination.
