The folks at WordTips compiled an interesting set of data that plots the literal meaning of US state and city names on maps of each quadrant of the country; the Northeast, the Southeast, the Midwest, the Northwest, and the Southwest.
To know the meaning of the place names around us is to learn how the land, the history and the culture of a locality have developed over the centuries.
While RobWords previously explained the origins behind state names, these maps go into a bit more detail regarding specific locations using public sources.
