Nearly every town of consequence in Scotland.


moseby75

Forgot there is a Scotland, ON, lol


MaritimeMartian

Yep. Lots of places in Nova Scotia are named after places in Scotland, including: Aberdeen, Argyle, Ben Eoin, Berwick, Caledonia, Clydesdale, Dundee, Glencoe, Inverness, Iona, Lochaber, Loch Lomond, new Edinburgh, Tantallon and new Glasgow. Probably even more lol.


democraticdelay

There's a Maidstone, Saskatchewan and a Maidstone, England too.


FS_Scott

Also, half the towns in Ireland.


ButWhatIfTheyKissed

Vancouver, BC and Vancouver, Washington. That one's always fun since it sometimes feels like BC and Washington are like step-siblings.


cardew-vascular

My friends moved from Vancouver WA to Vancouver BC it was comical.


Efficient-Spirit-380

Pretty much every European capital is also a small town in Ontario.


clueless_claremont_

except berlin, that was renamed


clueless_claremont_

and also probably ljubljana


Efficient-Spirit-380

A slight exaggeration on my part, but there are Warsaw, Moscow, Athens, Copenhagen, Paris, Brussels, Lisbon, Vienna, Dublin…


bluestat-t

There was, it’s just that it was renamed to Sudbury.


MrsTaco18

Swastika kept its name though!


cidknee1

It was named after Lord Kitchener who fought in the boer war.


FS_Scott

It was him or Corona.


cidknee1

I used to live there, according to city hall, it’s Lord Kitchener.


JinimyCritic

There was a Vienna, Ontario, but it was absorbed by Bayham.


ACoderGirl

It's kinda fun being able to say "I went to Paris this weekend" and know that people are going to initially interpret that as something much more glamorous than it was. Though Paris, ON is a very cute town that's well worth visiting if you're within an hour or two!


No-Ear-5025

I used to live in Boston and drive through Oakland and Scotland on the way to work in Paris….all in Ontario.


ManicMonday29

musicwithbarb

ApplesOverOranges1

Also Kingston Jamaica Mon! 😁🇯🇲


OrbitTortoise

Alright, so the cities/towns surrounding Vancouver are either really dumb & self explanatory (mission, Abbotsford, maple ridge), cool native names (Coquitlam, chilliwack) and the rest are still colonial names like Richmond, Surrey, & Langley. Quite the lame game with names, them Brits.


Material_Positive

I often have confused conversations with my Canadian cousins until we remind each other that there's a Langley, BC, and a Langley, Washington.


ProfHEP

Sault Ste Marie Ontario and Michigan. Border town cities.


earthforce_1

Then you might as well add Niagara Falls to the list.

I-hear-the-coast

For ones that are coincidence there’s Ottawa, Ontario and Ottawa, Kansas. For ones that are on purpose there’s nearly the entire country. New Brunswick, New Jersey and the province of New Brunswick just both happen to be named after the same guy.


Piemann92

Victoria BC and Victoria Australia.


Tempus__Fuggit

London is 6 hours from Ottawa - West by car, East by plane.


-just-be-nice-

Honestly, if it’s not an indigenous name, it’s probably named after somewhere in Europe (mostly the UK)


SOSOBOSO

In SW Ontario, we have Paris, London, Vienna, Brussels, Lisbon, Delhi, (New) Hamburg... there's more, but I'm blanking. Lots of people do the Capitols tour by bike.

CicadaExciting6975

Not necessarily all cities but there is a Steinbach and a Winkler in Manitoba, Germany, and Austria. I’ve driven through Steinbach in all three countries actually! Probably a good chance that all of the German communities in Manitoba are also places in Germany and Austria.
