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)
