That too. (hence my explanation)

Guess where the name for the city came from? There's some
relationship between the date the town was formed and some major event
in the country (independence maybe?). I don't remember exactly what
though I was taught it in 4th grade.
Also in western New York you can find Rome, Paris and Mexico (amongst
others I'm sure).
Of less interest to some of you, there's also both a county and a town
named "Wyoming". Not to mention other smaller towns with the same
name as some in Illinois, and the triplicate of "Rochesters".
If anyone from this region confuses you with names, don't be so
surprised :-).
