Feels weird to work in Zürich, Switzerland and see Lake Zürich every day, and then read about a random US highschool on the outskirts of Chicago being called "Lake Zurich High School"
All of North America is weird like that. I live within an easy drive of Stockholm, Kandahar, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Aberdeen, Hague, and Moose Jaw.
I'm Scottish and once or twice a year will drive through the original Dallas. These days it's just a single row of about two dozen houses (it has the remnants of a medieval castle though).
Must have been pretty trippy living there in the 80s when one of the biggest shows on American and British TV was Dallas.
Oh, I didn't even mention the towns we have that are named after much smaller places. Our Calgary is much bigger than the original, and I also live near a Colonsay, which while tiny is about double the size of the one in Scotland.
Wait til ya hear about all the many places and things in the US named after the literal tribes of humans who once lived in roughly that exact spot 😐
It's also the name of the lake at the center of the village in Illinois.
Makes sense why that would feel weird tho
I recently learned about this place called Paris... in Texas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris,_Texas
🤣
Wait till you hear about Texas NY. It's in Mexico NY.
Look at the city names in the southern and central part of Illinois, there’s a ton of towns and cities named after European locations
Haha the random occurrence of Altorf is fun.
Altdorf is the capital of our canton of Uri. Which is one of the early members of the first alliances that later became Switzerland under Napoleon. There is also a founding myth around Wilhelm Tell, not tenable with modern historical understanding, but still very popular. In that myth Altdorf is an important location too.
The interesting thing is that Altorf is an older spelling that we used to use. Now its Altdorf, literally alt + dorf, old + village, but I guess whoever brought the name to the US did so before the spelling was reformed! Cool detail.
