Some of these cities are not the biggest with their names. Vernon, CT is in the top 2, as well as Plymouth, MA, Clinton, MI, Randolph, NJ, and Union, NJ. Also, Dayton, NV is not a city; it's a CDP. The next largest Dayton is in Tennessee.

This quiz is based on the Post Office definition of city: you can write it on an envelope and mail it to someone who lives there. The list of names was compiled from the "Primary City" field of a Zip Code database.

Ummm, you can write 'Vernon, CT' on an envelope and send it to someone who lives there. The same goes for the rest of the cities I gave. Vernon, CT has 29,000 people, more than either of the Vernons you listed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon,_Connecticut

Vernon, CT, is in the Post Office database as an "acceptable city" (meaning your hypothetical letter will get there), but the "preferred city" for its zip code (06066) is Vernon Rockville, CT, which means CT wasn't even included in my group of 12 Vernons.

It's great to see so many American cities named after our founding fathers like George Washington, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin and Billy Zane.

Great quiz, and very difficult -- I think more time would help.

Yes, I mostly played this quiz because I wanted to see if your username was a good hint for the S clue, so, thanks for that.
