How many towns in the world have the same name as yours?

I like to joke that Idaho was created to screw with people by taking famous city names (IE Moscow, Paris)

So let’s see, there’s only one of the sleepy little place I grew up in, but now there’s two Salt Lake City(es). The other being a new suburb of New Delhi.

I looked up Glendale (there are 39, two being in Africa), on my suspicion that there’s one in every state; but the one it listed for Utah is in the south end of the state near Kanab, whereas the one most known is a suburb of SLC.

There’s a few Las Vegas(es), and the one in New Mexico is actually older than the tourist trap.

And to finish off:

There is one place called Fucking in the world.
