Ever wondered whether there are cities with same names around the world ? I did, and a quick search took me here Duplicate Name Cities in the USA. The article was an interesting read and I wanted to answer this question comprehensively with supporting data.
So after spending few hours on the Internet, got my hand on the data that I was looking for:
U.S. Board on Geographic Names (US Cities)
Using the above two data sets compiled an Access Database and a user interface that will consume the data. Both of which could be downloaded as an archive (.rar) at the following link:
The file is around 18MB to download. After decompressing it will take around 203MB ( remember we are talking about a database with city names for US and around the world). Also the user interface may need downloading and installing .NET framework 4.0.
