Many city and town names are repeated from state to state.
When you hear “Philadelphia,” the city in Pennsylvania is likely what comes to mind. But take a 78-mile drive up Interstate 75 from Chattanooga, and you’ll find yourself in Philadelphia, Tennessee.
Chattanooga is not unique to Tennessee, either, although the municipality we call home is by far the largest (estimated population of just over 191,000) and oldest (incorporated 1839) compared to three other places in the United States named Chattanooga.
The Scenic City is joined in the Chattanooga ranks by namesakes in Oklahoma and Ohio. And there used to be a fourth city by the same name, but Chattanooga, Colorado, no longer exists.
