• Source: List of place names of German origin in the United States

Relatively few place names in the United States have names of German origin, unlike Spanish or French names. Many of the German town names are in the Midwest, due to high German settlement in the 1800s. Many of the names in New York and Pennsylvania originated with the German Palatines (called Pennsylvania Dutch), who immigrated in the 18th century.
The entry of the United States into World War I was followed by anti-German sentiment, and local names were often changed to reflect this. Only one U.S. city with a German name has a population of greater than 100,000. Non-German city names with the suffix "-burg," which in English is partly an altered form the native English suffix -burgh and also partly derived from the related German word, "Burg," meaning "castle", is common for town and city names throughout the United States, such as Spartanburg, South Carolina and were not included.
