Presidential cities and towns

I figured this topic seemed appropriate for Election Day eve in the United States. Here is my list of some cities and towns that are named for American Presidents. My favorite of those listed is the town of Rough and Ready, California, which is named for President Zachary Taylor’s nickname – “Old Rough and Ready.”
