A quick query of our version of geographic names for the US yields about
3,500, with names of the form "the ". Searching for names having " the
" embedded yields about 4,000 matches.
A brief examination of the query results indicates little to no
commonality between the two result sets.

I don't know if this would be included in the original question, but
what about cities/towns where "the" is embedded?
Carmel by the Sea, CA
Niagara on the Lake, ONT
etc.
