"Eureka" is also the motto of California, only that eureka refers to the finding of gold in the 1800s.

StinkyEagle, Sicily was a Greek colony making Archimedes a Greek in the same sense that thousands of American colonists were still English even though they were not living in England.

Lady Jane M, Actually, there are many more places than that named Eureka in America. They range from coast to coast, border with to border & everything in between in many states. Sometimes multiple places in the same state & even a college.
