Mississippi towns have a bad habit of stealing their names from others. See also Philadelphia, Cleveland, Long Beach, Houston, West Point, Carthage, and Paris.

I have to take issue with "Long Beach", as it's a descriptive name, and thus wasn't "stealing". The beach really is pretty long, especially as compared to the North-South dimension both at the time of naming and at present (though moreso then).
