80% of places in the English-colonised portion of the Americas are named after England lmao, there’s a London, New York, a few hundred Springfields, Ipswich and even a Worcester in the USA. Americans can barely even pronounce Worcester
During the Plantation of Ulster by English and Scottish settlers, a new walled city was built across the River Foyle from the old site by the Irish Society, a consortium of the livery companies of the City of London.[13] In recognition of the London investors, the 1613 charter stated “that the said city or town of Derry, for ever hereafter be and shall be named and called the city of Londonderry”.
honestly worse, they did it to suck off some fucking investors
That’s how Londonderry got named? Are we sure the royals and drumpf aren’t related? That’s some Gulf of America/ Lake America crap right there.
