Help U.S Place Names Show Our Diversity Objectives Materials Procedures Present background on place names. Here is some information. The United States is a country that has been settled by people from all over the world. Some of the groups of people settled in particular parts of the country. It was only natural that they gave their settlements names of places that reminded them of the countries from which they came. Sometimes, they placed "New" at the beginning of the name, as, for example, New Prague, which reflects a Czechoslovakian origin. Sometimes, New was not included, as in Berlin, New Jersey. Some places have been given certain names because they resemble other places in the world. Cairo, Illinois, at the conjunction of the Mississippi River and the Ohio River, caused settlers to make an association with Cairo, Egypt, which is located on another great river, the Nile. In this case the use of Cairo doesn't mean that the people who settled there were Egyptians.
