What us cities start with the word the?

There aren't many US cities that actually start with the word "The". Here are a few:

* The Dalles, Oregon: A city located on the Columbia River.

* The Villages, Florida: A retirement community that is technically a town, not a city.

* The Plains, Ohio: A small village.

It's worth noting that:

* The Bronx in New York City is a borough, not a city.

* The Woodlands, Texas is a community, not a city.

Most US cities have straightforward names without articles like "The" at the beginning.
