1. Jackson, Mississippi after Andrew Jackson 2. Madison, Wisconsin after James Madison,
3. Jefferson City, Missouri after Thomas Jefferson
4. and Lincoln, Nebraska after Abraham Lincoln. 5. Jordan as well.
There may be more. I know that Cleveland , Ohio was not named after President
Cleveland. There is probably some kind of city besides the capital named after George
Washington.
