Place names can come from a variety of sources including former home towns, famous persons, family members, town founders, and a variety of other sources. In the case of this blogpost, they come from historic/famous residences. In the list below are ten famous residences that have been applied to the name of a city or town in the United States. They are:
- George Washington’s home/estate of Mount Vernon in northern Virgina
- Thomas Jefferson’s home/estate of Monticello in central Virginia
- Andrew Jackson’s home/estate, The Hermitage, in central Tennessee
- Ashland, the home/estate of statesman and three-time presidential candidate, Henry Clay, located near Lexington, KY
- Timonium Mansion and Marc Anthony’s incomplete Timonium Palace in Egypt.
- George Vanderbilt’s Biltmore home/estate near Asheville, North Carolina
- Blenheim Palace in England
- Longwood House on the island of St. Helena – added 11/22/24 – Thank you, Dan
- The Palace of Versailles in France

It was actually a bit surprising not to find more cities/towns named for presidential homes or other famous/historic residences, particularly the White House. If any have been missed, pleased let us know and they will be added. Enjoy the list. Peace!

City/Town = Population
*Mount Vernon, OR is not named for George Washington’s home.
*Versailles, KY was named after the city not the palace in France.
*White House, TN is not named for the residence in Washington, DC. Neither are the towns of Whitehouse in Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio, or Texas.
*Alhambra CA and Alhambra, IL were both derived from Washington Irving’s book, Tales of Alhambra, which is about the Alhambra Palace in Spain. – Thank you, Dan!
