Liberia is one of the lesser known US-centric countries (despite being in Africa). It’s entire existence is due to the US and its past relations with African/black people. Even its flag is a direct attribution towards the US. It was founded by African Americans after they were essentially shipped back as part of the US’ efforts towards racial segregation and thinking that black people (both free and formerly enslaved) would be better off with “their own kind”. Liberia’s history is really cool and should really be talked about more as the least known country of the English-speaking world

Some observations from a lifelong Southern California resident: There's a town in Ventura County (next door to Los Angeles County) called Fillmore. My grandma lived there when I was a kid, so I knew about the town before I knew about the president. I couldn't find conclusive evidence of it being named after the president, though. Garfield Avenue is a major north-south road running from roughly Pasadena to Long Beach. After Garfield's assassination, his widow lived in South Pasadena; her house is now a historic landmark. For a while, recording artist and producer Joe Henry (who is Madonna's brother-in-law) lived there and had a recording studio in the basement. Less noteworthy, but something I noted during my childhood, were three parallel residential streets in Altadena named Roosevelt, Harding, and Coolidge. No idea why it's just those three. Nothing around them continues the presidential naming convention. I was surprised during a recent drive to the western side of L.A. when I stumbled across an Obama Boulevard. Turns out it was only just named that in 2019, and previously it was named Rodeo Road, which presumably led to a lot of confusion with the famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. I went to Occidental College, which is where Obama went for two years before transferring to Columbia. They've been proudly broadcasting this fact since he first became a Senator in 2004, but thus far I don't know if they've actually named a building after him. I don't think the state of Hawaii has formally named anything after him yet, either.

When the dam across the Colorado River was started, it was called Hoover Dam, but when FDR took over, he renamed it Boulder Dam. After he died, the name Hoover Dam was restored. Another part of Hoover’s legacy was in the tent cities erected by working men traveling to find jobs during the Depression. Since the only way they could afford to travel was by illegally hopping freight trains, they pitched their tents as close as possible to freight train lines as possible, and because they blamed Hoover for the Depression, the public called these tent cities Hoovervilles. Note: there are three unrelated men named Hoover whose names are big in American (and in one case, British) pop culture: the first and longest serving head of the FBI, whose power and paranoia shaped American politics as well as criminal justice fir decades, J. Edgar Hoover; President Herbert Hoover; and the inventor of the vacuum cleaner, whose name was used as a brand name of the vacuum cleaners made by his company. Many Americans get the first two of these confused, which may be why we don’t call vacuum cleaners “Hoovers.”

Lol, it made me laugh when you said "but is there anywhere named after Millard Fillmore", because the hospital I was born in is named after him (there are actually two different hospitals in Buffalo, NY named after him, Gates and Suburban, however Gates recently closed)

I lived near grant's farm, named for ulysses. It has buffalo, horses, deer, etc.... The petting zoo serves beer. Pretty good time and the parking lot is almost never full. Edit: it's on land his father in law gave him and his wife. Driving by at night you are really likely to see mist and fog. Scenic.

For John Quincy Adams, there's a small city in western Illinois called Quincy, the county seat of Adams County. The city and the county were both named after John Quincy Adams when he was just starting as President.

The most important item for a place to be named for a president, is how fast is the country growing at the time and shortly after. A new state may get you a county named for you, but counties don't usually change their names for later presidents.

Being native to Los Angeles, there are so many places, streets , schools, hotels, etc that are name after presidents. in the San Fernando Valley suburban area of Woodland Hills called Taft High school, In East LA, there are Garfield and Roosevelt High ( Movie fact, the movie "Stand and Deliver" With Edward James Olmos who played high school teacher Jaime Escalante who inspired many of his students to stay in school and not drop out was filmed between Garfield and Roosevelt High schools . East LA is predominately Hispanic. Any way "Stand and Deliver " is a great movie and if you get a chance to watch it, do), There's the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood that was the home of the first few Academy Awards ceremonies in the 20's and 30's . Two years ago, A street in Los Angeles was renamed Barack Obama Blvd, There are high schools named after Thomas Jefferson and George Washington . Of course many othwr streets here in Los Angeles are named after Presidents Adams, Lincoln , Washington and Jefferson. In Dallas,Tx, there are two tollways name for both president Bushes and there's an expressway named for Lyndon B,. Johnson in Dallas , all three were from Texas. There's a hospital named for LBJ in Houston. The George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel are transportation thorough fares in New York City

as a point of interest, there could've been another bit of name-based legacy to Jefferson--it was once proposed that there be a state of Jefferson, which i seem to remember had a few different hypothetical locations but the most famous one would have been made from parts of northern California and southern Oregon and therefore would've been wedged between the two as a fourth West Coast state

I live in Monrovia, Liberia and grew up on Bushrod Island, named of course, after Bushrod Washington. My son was born at the JFK Medical Center, located on Tubman Boulevard, named after a cousin of Harriet Tubman who served as Liberia's President for 27 years. Our neighborhood, Caldwell is between New Georgia and Louisiana and is located on the St. Paul River. Living in Liberia is a course in US Civics.

Millard Fillmore was also the president of my alma mater, SUNY Buffalo, definitely a building named after him there. There is also a street that bears his name in my Brooklyn neighborhood, Fillmore Avenue. I also have a nearby night school named for John Madison.

My US history teacher gave us a pop quiz one day and it was one question: "Name the two country capitals named after U.S. Presidents." He said that if you get the obvious one you're smarter than him, because apparently he knew Monrovia instantly lmao. I see some of these comments have already beat me to this anyway...

I'm watching from Madison County, Nebraska (the county is named indirectly for President Madison because it was named after Madison, Wisconsin), immediately north of here is Pierce County. Our state also has Adams County, Arthur County, Garfield County, Grant County, Hayes County, Lincoln County (our capitol is in Lancaster County), Polk County, we also have Washington County. There was a very short-lived Johnson County that was formed in 1855 and dissolved in 1856 but this was in Nebraska Territory. There are several towns named after Presidents. You mentioned our capitol city, Lincoln.
