Why Do some States Have Two Towns With the Same Name?

<p>Yes, I remember reading about the ‘Washington Township’ problem in New Jersey. Argh!! As for Peachtree Street in Atlanta, double argh!!! I hope the guy who convinced the nitwit Atlanta City Council to rename half a dozen streets Peachtree paid them well for their time. And don’t get me started on 'Peachtree Corners." Only after 30 minutes of conversation on one ocassion did the person I was talking to realized we were talking about places over 20 miles apart.</p>
