Lol. East London, South Africa.
We often exported our place names and I guess, East London, South Africa is quite a bit east of London, U.K..
LOL, I guess that consolidates two of those locations π
I live just outside of Birmingham, and about 20 miles from Leeds.
They didn't even get geographically diverse in the Southeast region, nor did they even bother adding "New" to anything (but the truthful story is that this area is a turn-of-century era industrial hotspot, so those names were specifically chosen as namesakes to honor the prior generation of Industrial Revolution cities).
Pennsylvania even has a Carlisle, but one thing you won't see here are very many "-Chesters" or "-Wicks." The French "-Ville" dominates the US, hands down. Typically some local founder's name, then they just add "Ville." It doesn't need French heritage, it's just the standard formula.
