Subject: Company towns
 
 
Mapsters,
 
A Business prof. here has assigned his students the project of listing
towns that are named after a company, its product(s), or its founder.
Hershey, Penn. is the prime example. (wow! my chocolate-related knowledge
pays off!)
 
We suggested they use Webster's Geographical Dictionary, but its a slow
process.  Do any of you know of a source that lists this phenomena, or a
more efficient way of finding such towns, or better yet, do any of you know
of such towns.
 
Please let me know.
 
Thanks!
