    To the people saying, "They just stole the names of English cities!", it's because America was colonized by the British. The *British* named the cities.

In fact, people from Mass whose families go way back to the pilgrims and puritans (like my grandma) have a weird sort of British-ey sound to their voices...

    They're all English town names, that I'm very familiar with. All except Cochituate, I guess that's Native American? It's interesting to see that modern Massachusetts people (Massachuttians? Massachuttese? The Mass-o-Chusetts???) still pronounce nearly all of them the same way we do. Though Leominster is even more basic in England: "Lem-ster".
    Anyway, nice to see one corner of the U.S. with sensible names; you can keep your Omahahas and your Albukweekways ;-)
