Names on the land: A Historical account of place-naming in the United States
First published in 1945 and reissued as part of the New York Review Books Classics series, this work by George R. Stewart offers a comprehensive and engaging history of how places across the United States received their names. Blending linguistic analysis, folklore, and cultural history, the book explores Indigenous, colonial, regional, and modern naming traditions. Stewart traces the influence of explorers, settlers, politicians, and immigrants in shaping the nation’s geographical identity. Rich in narrative detail and historical insight, the book remains a foundational study of American toponymy and local historical development.
