When I think of the French influence in the States, I think of Louisiana and of the old fur trading areas up north. I know the name of the capital of Louisiana, Baton Rouge, means Red Stick in English. Des Moines, St. Louis, Illinois, and Detroit came from French as well (All of their pronunciations have been altered in English).

Why do some cities in the middle west region of the US have french names?
There are a number of mid western cities that have French names. Some of these include Saint Louis, Decatur, as well as Detroit. They have these French names because they were originally established as French trading posts in the former French colony of Louisiana. After the Seven Years War (known in North America as the French and Indian War), France lost the territory of Louisiana, but the cities retained their original names.
