What American cities have English names?

This is a bit of a tricky question because many American cities have English names, but the question seems to be implying that there's something unusual about it.

Here's why:

* English is the dominant language in the US: Most cities were founded by English speakers and named using English words.

* Other languages exist: However, some cities have names based on other languages, particularly those with a strong history of Spanish or French influence.

Examples of American cities with English names:

* New York City

* Los Angeles (though "Los Angeles" is Spanish, it's the English pronunciation and spelling used)

* Chicago

* San Francisco

* Boston

* Philadelphia

* Seattle

* Denver

* Houston

* Atlanta

Examples of American cities with non-English names:

* San Antonio (Spanish)

* Santa Fe (Spanish)

* New Orleans (French)

* Honolulu (Hawaiian)
