The only places I can think of that were named for heads of state of foreign countries while already part of the United States are Napoleon OH, Bolivar TN and Bismarck ND. Not counting those established while not yet in the USA (Victoria TX) or with coincidental names of somebody else (Castroville CA or Churchill County NV).
A few others: Enumclaw(native), WA, Bullhead City(someone who was drunk?), AZ, Yreka(Native I think), CA, Plaster City(had to be a drunk person), CA, Cochella(Spanish), CA, Burien(no clue), WA, Seatac(a contraction of Seattle and Tacoma and is almost midway between them), WA, Napavine(random), WA.
In my first post, all the names except maybe Jamacha and Orinda are native.
I've always thought King of Prussia, PA was pretty strange.
