What US city was named for a British prime minister?

Answer 1

The city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was named in honor of William Pitt (the Elder), Earl of Chatham, when it was founded by British general John Forbes in 1758. Pitt was not the actual prime minister when he first led the UK government from 1756 to 1761, but became Lord Privy Seal from 1766 to 1768.

Additionally: Pelham, Massachusetts was founded in 1738 and named for the Pelham family, which included Henry Pelham, who became prime minister in 1743, the year of the town's incorporation. Similarly, the city of Pelham, New Hampshire was incorporated in 1746 and named for Henry's brother Thomas, the Duke of Newcastle, who later served as prime minister (1754-1756).

Four US cities are named Wilmington, at least presumably in honor of Spencer Compton, Duke of Wilmington, the 2nd true Prime Minister of the UK, who served from 1742 to 1743. The cities are in the states of Delaware, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Vermont.
