The Other Manilas

Fun fact: There are at least two places named "Manila" in the USA: Manila, Arkansas and Manila, Utah, both small towns. Does your home city have any heartland echoes?
Update: Okay, my coworker Keith has sent me the ultimate list of US geographic features named "Manila," via the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). They do so much more than just earthquakes! You can search the GNIS here.

There is also Manila in Iowa
Other US Manilas.
I've been to Manila, UT. In '83, while on vacation, my dad interviewed the town mayor because he thought he'd write a book about all the US cities named Manila. I think most of them were named after WWII.
