As a Brit, I've always been fascinated with the names of U.S. States & Canadian Provinces, I think I'm correct in thinking that a good few of the names came from two main sources; France & England, followed by naturalised Americans, [apologies if I've got that term wrong] Inuits, then Spain, Holland etc., this initial post is to get the feel of opinions, & the knowledge of the the people who live there, and for members to pull me up on my mistakes, give me a chance guys, be gentle with me!
I think I know quite a few origins; Alberta, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, etc.
This thread could be very interesting, perhaps members testing each other, [& me] as to origins, just a word though, there's no reason why it shouldn't be fun, pleasant, & mildly educational, lets keep it light, no heavy arguments, yeah?
