Great quiz! Just for the record, there is a Moscow, Virginia as well, in the scenic Shenandoah Valley.

You are correct there is a Moscow in Virginia, however it is an unincorporated community and so falls out of the scope of this quiz. I had to draw the line somewhere and the data was all for incorporated communities. Sorry, but thanks for the comment.

sorry to bother you again but there are freetown and la paz in indiana and tripoli in iowa. algiers also exists in vermont, although as an unincorporated community and therefore does not fit the qualifications for this quiz

Thanks for the reply and it's no bother at all.

I've done a little digging around that interweb thingy and found out the following..

Freetown IN - unincorporated

La Paz IN - added to the quiz

Tripoli IA - Cant find any info as to whether Inc. or not (I'll keep looking)

Algiers VT - As you say unincorporated.

Thanks for you comments, much appreciated.

Couldn't get the link to work, however I found a list of Iowa incorporated cities compiled by the Iowa Secretary of State and Tripoli is on there. Incorporated on October 16th, 1894.

I'm going to have to do a proper search for each state and completely update the quiz. Thanks for being persistent. The quiz should be right, I've learnt a lesson to not take Wikipedia and citypopulation.com for granted and verify the facts.

I am truly grateful.

According to the Texas State Historical Association website Tunis is an unincorporated town, so it doesn't make the cut unfortunately. Sorry.

I was shocked not to see a single Bridgetown. I guess they were too busy naming everything Washington or Springfield. Anyway, great quiz!

Thank you, perhaps the reason is that Bridgetown, although established in 1628, did not see much emigration to the early USA. It would have only had a small population anyway so any movement of people would have been extremely small.

I could say "Well done you found the deliberate mistake" but I'd just be lying to you and myself. Fixed it now, and thank you!
