Have you ever visited a place in another country with the same name as your home town?

Lol yeah I have a few

We actually have a New York in Newcastle.

I used to live in Dallas (Scotland).

there is (Only Geordies could do this lol, although I imagine other places do as well) a global network of Newcastles.https://newcastlesoftheworld.com

I have been to quite a few and also if I’m wearing a Toon top (Newcastle United Soccer Top), I have people stop me and tell me they are from such and such a Newcastle.

The Makems can’t do this as only 3 places would admit to being called Sunderland, like who would want people to know they come from a shit town.

I don't think there are any places in Europe named Lakewood. LOL
Lakewood, CA, is a suburb in Los Angeles County. There is a ward in Madrid, Spain, called Los Angeles, but I've never been there.

I did visit a town in Iowa named Wexford, which is near where my ancestors settled when they immigrated to the U. S. in 1850. I've visited Wexford, Ireland, a couple of times and even went to the town and parish where my ancestors were originally from.

My town is named after a Native American tribe. A few other states have a town with the same name, but I’m unaware of any countries outside of the US that have a town with the same or even similar name. We have “sister cities” in Ireland, Belgium, and Germany though.

The namesake of my town is a person.

The namesake of the city I live near, Los Angeles, is a person (El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula). That person being Mary the mother of Jesus. She lives in heaven, allegedly. I haven't been to heaven. 😉

I visited the Spanish version of my city through google maps and youtube. I guess their version is better.

[DonkeyDan]

Well Virginia in the US has a city the same nane at my town but I've yet to visit it.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Yes, but I think it's because my town's name is really common worldwide.

[AviatorTom]

I grew up in New York State. York England is a much classier place, rich in history.

[Iron_Man]

No what other countries do you know that has the name Miami? Miami Florida is the greatest city in the world

[exitseven]

No. Nova Scotia had lots of towns that have the same name as towns near where I live but there was no town with the same name as my hometown.

[NathanDavis]
