USA: l'ufficio postale di ''Dalmatia''

[somalafis]

''Originally known as Georgetown following its founding in 1798, the settlement faced challenges in establishing a post office under that name due to the prevalence of similarly named communities across the United States. The post office was successfully established on February 9, 1818, under the new name Dalmatia. The name Dalmatia was derived from the historical region along the Adriatic Sea in what is now Croatia, selected because of the perceived resemblance between the local shoreline along the Susquehanna River and the rugged Dalmatian coast of Europe''.
Cosi', incuriosito dal nome di questo paesino, che e' in Pennsylvania, mi sono interrogto sulla scelta fatta dagli abitanti. Ho scoperto cosi' che non venivano dalla regione storica che noi associamo alla Dalmazia e' la scelta sembra essere stata del tutto casuale....
