Medfield
The town in all the weird 60s/70s Walt Disney movies.
About as banal/generic as you can get.
Did Disney just make it up? Are there many "Medfields?"
You'd think there must be.
The only one i know of was a battlefield in the Indian wars.
The Irish settled it (mainly).
Is it shortened, from the Gaelic for "middlefield?"
Benjamin left dozens of Franklins spread around the country.
a total of 243,206 Americans are Franklinites? Frankliners?
Those founding fathers. I'll let someone else do Jefferson, I'll do Washington (2010 census).

22 Washingtons (prounounced Worshington in a few), with 718,015 Washingtonians (Worshingtonians?).
The two biggest, DC and UT have grown rapidly the last decade, up 104K in DC and 10K in UT as of 2019 estimates, so 800K+ now.
I've always found it weird that residents of DC, Philly, and Houston all have a large, prosperous suburban county to their north with the same name. Turns out that of the four most populous MoCos, three are large metro suburbs (Maryland, Pennsylvania, & Texas), and only one (Ohio) contains a large city.
Just those named after Revolutionary War general Richard Montgomery (2010 census):
Montgomery County, Arkansas - 9,487
Montgomery County, Georgia - 9,123
Montgomery County, Illinois - 30,104
Montgomery County, Indiana - 38,124
Montgomery County, Iowa - 10,740

Montgomery County, North Carolina - 27,798
Montgomery County, Ohio - 535,153
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania - 830,915
Montgomery County, Virginia - 94,392
=2,760,949, or about the population of Chicago
Add in the four other MoCos not named after Richard:
Montgomery County, Alabama - 229,363
Montgomery County, Mississippi - 10,925
Montgomery County, Tennessee - 172,331
Montgomery County, Texas - 455,746
=3,619,314, or somewhat shy of the 2010 population of Los Angeles city (3.8M)... but not, of course, Los Angeles County
Middletown, OH (pop. 48,630)
Middletown, CT (pop. 47,333)

Middletown, MO (pop. 159
As a native of Middletown...Ohio...I remember meeting a fellow Middletonian, from Connecticut. Turns out there are a lot of Middletonians….like 185,000!
What other cities/place names have somewhat substantial populations if added together?
Those founding fathers. I'll let someone else do Jefferson, I'll do Washington (2010 census).

There's about 3 or 4 Washington Townships in NJ alone.
There was actually a ranking a few years back of which Springfield is most like the Simpsons, lol. I think Springfield, PA won.

I always noticed that too. Montgomery County is a lucky county for MD and PA. I think its the wealthiest and most prosperous in MD, and 2nd in PA (Chester County, PA surpassed Montco in overall wealth rankings, but smaller economy).
