Retarded question but,
Why was New York named after York and not London?
>>57583443
Cause its actually new Amsterdam
>>57583443
Because London is in Canada
>>57583462
why'd they change it?
>>57583443
you should know ari goldstein
>>57583443
Because Yorkers captured the province (duke of York, James II) and named the province "Shire of York"
>>57583470
a city called New London?
or are you talking about London, ON
>>57583513
I don't know but they Anglicized a lot of the cities' names iirc.
>>57583513
I can't say, people just liked it better that way.
