Noticed a Rome, NY when digging in the Finger Lakes area. Rome, NY is a little NE of the lakes though, NW of Utica, NY.

Anon wondered how many cities in America are named "Rome"?

Would it surprise you to learn there are 17?

4 are Townships or Counties and 13 are Cities.

12 out of 17 Romes (70%) are located in Great Lake states (direct shoreline).

Combined, PA is the state with the most Romes with 3 total (counting cities + townships/counties)

PA is the "Keystone State"

Google Earth cannot find Rome, Maryland, but that's because it is now called Washington, DC.
