Evansville's relationship with Osnabrück, Germany started in 1983 with an official Friendship Ceremony uniting the two cities.


On hand were Evansville Mayor Michael D. Vandeveer and Osnabrück, West Germany Bürgermeister (Mayor) Hubert Korte. During the ceremony Mayor Vandeveer proclaimed Evansville and Osnabrück partners in culture and commerce.


Vandeveer said Osnabrück had an informal relationship with Evansville for many years, noting that families who had settled in the outlying areas of Evansville emigrated from the Osnabrück region and had maintained ties with Germany. (source: Evansville Courier & Press article, May 12, 1983)

Most recently, Evansville and Mayor Winnecke hosted a delegation from Osnabrück May 22-25, 2017, led by Oberbürgermeister (Lord Mayor) Wolfgang Griesert on an economic development and cultural exchange.


And in May 2018, Mayor Winnecke led a delegation to Osnabrück during MaiWoche (May Week).

With an area of 9.8 million Km(squared) and over 328 million people I guess you are going to find some duplication

(plus there are so many immigrants from other countries, going back to the 1700s)

How many times can you fit the UK into the US?


I just looked it up and you can fit the UK into Alaska seven times! (or course if you look on a map, it really should be part of Canada)

Although not impossible, it would be pretty difficult to come up with a different name for every single city/town in the US when you consider how large it is, don't you think?
