A large number of places in the U.S were named after places in England largely as a result of English settlers and explorers of the Thirteen Colonies.
Some names were carried over directly and are found throughout the country (such as Manchester, Birmingham and Rochester). Others carry the prefix "New"; for example, the largest city in the US, New York, was named after York because King Charles II gave the land to his brother, James, the Duke of York (later James II). [1] [2] Some places, such as Hartford, Connecticut, bear an archaic spelling of an English place (in this case Hertford).
Washington, D.C., the federal capital of the U.S., is named after the first U.S. President George Washington, whose surname was due to his family holding land in Washington, Tyne and Wear.

English Americans are Americans whose ancestry originates wholly or partly in England. In the 2020 United States census, English Americans were the largest group in the United States with 46.5 million Americans self-identifying as having some English origins representing (19.8%) of the White American population. This includes 25,536,410 (12.5%) who were "English alone". Despite them being the largest self-identified ancestral origin in the United States, demographers still regard the number of English Americans as an undercount. As most English Americans are the descendants of settlers who first arrived during the colonial period which began over 400 years ago, many Americans are either unaware of this heritage or choose to elect a more recent known ancestral group even if English is their primary ancestry.
In the late 19th century, many Portuguese, mainly from the islands of Azores and Madeira, migrated to the United States and established communities in cities such as New Bedford, Massachusetts; and San Jose, California.
