Here’s a list of places in the United States whose name it is believed refers to Independence Day. Personally, I prefer this name for the holiday over the Fourth of July. I have visited four of the communities named for the holiday, including Independence’s in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio.
Happy Independence Day (Fourth of July) everyone!
