Big parts of NYC are named after Dutch places, surprised you skip it altogether. Harlem, Flushing, Brooklyn to name some bigger ones; those are named after Haarlem, Vlissingen and Breukelen.

Brielle, New Jersey.
Urk… probably located somewhere in the Midwest… in a darkred state
If you’re visiting the Netherlands in the USA it’s probably best to visit Pella, Iowa , even though it’s not named after a Dutch place it’s probably the most Dutch place there. Holland, Michigan also has some Dutch things so that is also a recommendation. Also if you want to be very roundabout you can also visit Vancouver; The city is named after George Vancouver who’s last name means *from Coevorden*. And if you’re able to, you could also go to Litchfield, Conneticut where they have a shop called Dutch Epicure Shop which sells Dutch food.
There’s a Venlo in North-Dakota.
Oude Pekela
How does an American pronounces ‘Zwolle’. That must be a real tongue twister for English speakers.
This seems like a crazy amount of travel but also kinda cool, have a good trip 🙂
Deventer, Missouri.
Hague, North Dakota
Zeeland, North Dakota
Nederland, Texas next to Beaumont. You’re already driving right past it. They have an old windmill there with a Sinterklaas museum that is ran by 2 sweet old ladies (at least when I visited it in 2011).
There’s a Deventer in Missouri, make sure to swing by and ask for Stick Fish or Deventer Cook
