Area 51 is in Nevada. "Alleged UFO crash site" would be better clue for Roswell, NM

Some of these quite easy, others quite hard. Also... it's the "Branch Davidians" not the Brand. Insane cults are a speciality of mine...

I like how you made a lot of these answers obscure enough I had to think about some of them. Took me a bit to think of Xenia and almost didn't get Zephyrhills.

Yeah, me too. I've never heard of Zephyrhills, so when just Zephyr didn't work, I was completely stumped. I didn't think to carefully read the clue and follow it to its "logical" conclusion...

Hey, is that where xenophobe comes from? The greek word, not the town, obviously..
kalbahamut

Yes. From the Greek xenos.. alien, foreigner, or the way "Xenia" was used I guess a closer analogue would be "guest." And phobia of course which come from the Greek word for "fear." Xenia would be welcoming foreigners and Xenophobia would be fear of them.

The Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston and died in Maryland. Just a friendly suggestion to differentiate.

Then you were all guessing. If you knew enough about him to know where he was born then you know the city is inextricably linked to.

Crap. I knew Tallahasse was the Florida one, but I didn't know it had two Es at the end. I only tried varying the number of Ns and Ses.

Sadly, the only reason I knew Xenia was because of that terrible tornado that ravaged their town in 1974. (Yes, I'm old.)

I was lucky...my sister went to school there, so I knew Xenia...but I didn't think of adding the "hills" to zephyr...and blanked on Kansas City!

"Its name," not "It's name." Possessive, not contraction of "it is." Sorry to be picky!

No. Why? It's Utica. Pronounced "YOUtika", not "UHtika". You're probably thinking of Attica. Different place.

Missed Dayton, Flagstaff, New Orleans, and Waco, and was surprised to see two from Missouri (my home state) because it seems like nothing important ever happens here...

Lol, I knew that Zephyr is a word for west wind, but I didn't know how to say hills in like Latin or Greek, so didn't try to answer that question. Turns out it wouldn't have been so difficult.

Here's an Ohio version of this quiz! Ohio is the only state with at least one city/town starting with each letter of the alphabet, which is why it has multiple cities making an appearance on this quiz.
