Oh and ohio is fun here because Columbus has slowly grown to be the biggest city in ohio. Cleveland and Cincinnati are more historically significant while Columbus was just a big city focused on the university and business. But as the great lakes manufacturing and ohio River manufacturing fell by the wayside and Columbus kept growing it beat them out.
and yes it’s spelled differently from Germanys one
That’s because it’s not named after the German one. It’s named after “Frank’s Ford” which is part of a creek in the area.
Some people say it’s because there is a surprisingly large German population in the area, but it was already called Frankfort by the late 1700s when the large influx of German immigrants really started.
That’s really interesting. That said, it’s an unimaginably meh city. Like gorgeous to get to but it’s there alright. Certainly is a city I’ve been to many times.
Kentucky is Frankfort. Yes its spelled differently from Germany’s one.
California is Sacramento, New York is Albany, and every once in a while the capital is the biggest or most important city like seriously, Philadelphia was nearly the nation’s capital but fumbled even being the state capital.
