Cities (again)

[Jason]

Ack! We lost the supposedly neverending Cities game, so I'm starting it again.

Rules:
I start with a city or town (basically anywhere with a post office) anywhere in the world and the next person names a city starting with the letter that ended the previous city.

For example:

I might say- Toledo, Spain

Toledo ends with o so the next person has to name a city starting with o such as:

Oracle, Arizona

Got it?

I'll start:

Tucson, Arizona

[Jason]

Elkedra, Northern Territory, Oz

[not#1,butclose]

Aberdeen, Mississippi

[sandie]

Actually, I think Oban is in Queensland.

We also have towns named Aberdeen in New South Wales and Queensland.

Most of our early settlers came from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, so many of our towns were named after existing towns eg Penrith, where I live.

Nome, Queensland. There's no place like Nome. :D

Kingman, Arizona

[sandie]

Isn't the USA a republic, Mitcho? Kingman. ;)

Ngangganawili, Northern Territory.

If you work out how to pronounce it let me know. :D

[Jason]

Kingman:
In October 1857, Lt. Edward Fitzgerald Beale and his experimental Camel Corps trudged across the present site of Kingman, Arizona surveying a wagon road along the 35th parallel.

After the first travelers encountered hostile Indians in the area, Fort Mojave was established on the Colorado River. Off-duty soldiers scouted the hills and found gold and silver.

Mining camps sprang up in the years to come and in the early 1870's cattle were driven in to take advantage of the lush grasses.

Located in a natural basin, surrounded by basaltic hills it is ironic that Kingman was not established as a mining town but as a railroad town.

In 1880, Lewis Kingman surveyed along the Atlantic and Pacific right of way between Needles and Albuquerque. By 1883 the track was completed.

The first reference found of Kingman is from the Alta Arizona, a newspaper published in Mineral Park. The issue of 10 June 1882 states, "There is a new town on the tapis at or near Beale Springs."

In October 1882, the Alta Arizona refers to the sampling works at Kingman, also saying that Middleton is to be hereafter named Kingman, where in November 1882, a rooming house, stores and other buildings were going up.

[Jason]

Ngangganawili, Northern Territory.

If you work out how to pronounce it let me know. :D

Indianapolis, Indiana

[sandie]

So, Kingman was named after the Surveyor.Thank you, Mitcho.

Sydney, which was originally a dumping ground for British Convicts. Sydney was named by the politically astute Captain (Governor) Arthur Phillip when he brought the First Fleet to Sydney. It was named after Lord Sydney, Home Secretary of England.

Why did they send convicts to a beautiful locale?

[sandie]

For the view of the Sydney Opera House? :rolleyes:

Sydney was a deepwater harbour with a freshwater creek called the Tank Stream running into it. The Tank Stream is now buried below some of the streets of the City.

Captain James Cook, who had explored the East Coast of Australia 18 years before, had recommended an area to the south, (near SydneyAirport nowadays) but there was not enough fresh water.

The convicts missed out on this aerial view of Sydney.

Hey, Oddball, check out this thread:
http://www.thirdday.com/boards/showthread.php?t=82434&page=2

and please help me figure out the remaining six cities surrounding Phoenix.

[sandie]

Jason: Captain Cook came during a period when water was plentiful, whereas the First Fleet came 18 years later during a period of drought. The local Aborigines, the Eora, fished in Sydney Harbour and in the rivers around Sydney.
