Latin American cities named after cities in Iberia

[Gauthier]

Recently came a cross an article related to this topic and it got me curious.

Which cities/towns in your country are named after a city in this region of Europe?

Toledo, Ohio (USA)

the US is not a latin american country but there are some cities based off names from spain such as what CV pointed out with Toledo, Ohio. Also there is a city called oviedo, Florida also Miramar, which is in florida. Alot of towns and counties are also borrowed from spanish saints as well such as St. Augustine, Florida.

There's a list on wikipedia detailing all the cities whose names are of spanish origin.

Joder, you are going to make a lot of MAGA gringos mad, Cristiano. Mira que considerar a U.S.A. un pais latinoamericano es como si les dijeras que son unos hijos de puta en su propia cara, jajaja.
