You'll see the same names repeated all over the country. There are two Philadelphias. And probably 948 Hanovers and 367 Exeters.

There are also phased out names of places or they got shifted.

Like there is an area that was once mapped as beaver pass near me that isn't called that anymore.

Plus a huge part of PA was once called Westmoreland which disappeared.

It's something you just kinda move with through history I guess.

The state of Wyoming is named after a poem inspired by a massacre that happened in Wyoming sponsored by the British.

What a great time it must have been back then

It takes almost twenty minutes to get to Intercourse from Blue Ball, but less than ten to get from Intercourse to Paradise. Pennsylvania knows what's up.
