In Tennessee
-Memphis -Milan -Dover -Manchester -Paris -Lebanon -Lafayette -Monterey -Athens -Bristol -Carthage  These are cities and towns with substantial populations, there are more communities and bumps in the roads that are named after other places.

There are thousands of towns and cities in the US named after others. For Minnesota alone, it would be a list hundreds of names long.

In Texas alone there are probably thousands of towns which are named after places outside the US.

Here are cities in Ohio that have substantial population.I'm really not sure if some of the cities are named after their counterpart but I would assume that the majority would be.
Toledo Lima Dublin Versailles New Bremen Parma Athens Avon Bowling Green Cambridge East Liverpool Dover London Macedonia Russia Canton Ontario Toronto Poland Troy Oxford Kent Minster(after Munster,Germany) Lebanon Holland Berlin Geneva Milan Ravenna This is off the top of my head so I'm sure I'm missing alot. I also included names of countries but I felt they were relevant. |

For some of the larger cities, New York was named after York, England. New Orleans was named after Orleans, France. Birmingham, Alabama after Birmingham, UK. Boston, MA, Boston, UK. The list would go on for a very long time. Might be easier to name the cities that were not named after somewhere else.

Basically every municipality in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut without a Narraganset, Massasoit or Wampanoag name has an older counterpart in England.
