What is the US city with the longest name?

Asked by Wiki User

El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles the full name of Los Angeles

La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asis, the full name of Santa Fe

LA does indeed hold claim to the longest city name in the United States. The full name of Los Angeles as it was founded September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve is: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de la Porciúncula(The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of Porziuncola). There is some question about the legitimacy of this name, which may have, through a series of misinterpretations and inflations, been corrupted from the actual name authorized in writing in 1781, "La Reina de Los Angeles". Cf. Theodore E. Treutlein, "Los Angeles, California: The Question of the City's Original Spanish Name," Southern California Quarterly 55, no. 1 (Spring 1973): 1-7.

Historian Doyce B. Nunis, Jr., has traced the longer name to the histories written by the Franciscan missionaries, especially Francisco Palóu, who wished to play up the region's connections to their order. Pool, Bob, "City of Angels' First Name Still Bedevils Historians." Los Angeles Times (March 26, 2005), Sec. A-1.

Asked by Wiki User

"E" felony crimes are considered to be the the lowest category of all felonies. They are less severe crimes likte aggravated harassment or aggravated assault. They are not as bad as "A" felony crimes such as :First degree murder, which is harder to fight in court. There have been instances where "E" felony crimes have been reduced to misdemeanors. It has happened. Good luck.

Asked by Wiki User

If "Wilmington, Delaware, USA" is meant by "Wilmington," then . . .

The Lenni Lenape (also called the Delaware), the original native habitants of the area before invasion by Northern Europeans called the area Paxahakink or Pakehakink.

The first European settlers were from Sweden. In March 1638 they established Fort Christina at the mouth of the Christina River at the area known as "The Rocks" at present-day Wilmington, Delaware.

Note: There are other locations in the USA with the name Wilmington in California, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York state, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Plus, there are places named Wilmington in Australia and the United Kingdom (in England in the counties of Devon, Kent, and Somerset.)
