Which of the following U.S. cities was named after a British prime minister?
- Pittsburgh:Pittsburgh was named in 1758 in honor of William Pitt, a British statesman and Prime Minister of Great Britain. After British forces captured Fort Duquesne from the French during the Seven Years War, British General John Forbes named the city after William Pitt, England’s Prime Minister at the time. It was Pitt who devised the military strategy that enabled Britain to beat the French in this region. The earliest known reference to the settlement's new name is in a letter from General Forbes to William Pitt dated Nov. 27, 1758, notifying Pitt of the honor bestowed on him. In the letter, Forbes spelled the city "Pittsbourgh."
