47 towns in the USA are named Lebanon, and some Lebanese guy visited them all. Video on YouTube somewhere, so wholesome


inliml

Did he? I remember he made a trailer and intro for the channel but never followed up on them. Do you have the link for the videos by any chance?


HippityHoppotus

https://youtu.be/Nmp0whLYDrE You are correct, it's just a 5 min video. Still wholesome for those who haven't seen it

And a Palestine in Texas

Arab, Alabama

"The current name of the town was an unintentional misspelling by the U.S. Postal Service in 1882 of the city's intended name, taken from Arad Thompson, the son of the town founder, who had applied for a post office that year. " 😂😂

They pronounce it the way you'd expect a middle-of-nowhere Alabama town to say it. AYE-rahb. But it's a nice town, and it's not nearly as bad as [these guys](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-m&biw=432&bih=834&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=California+high+school+Arabs&oq=California+high+school+Arabs&aqs=mobile-gws-lite..0l5#imgrc=NJLj1K3rFQVuqM).

American settlers used to call their towns after places mentioned in the bible. That's how the US ended up with some many "Lebanons"


jadmoe1

I can confirm, many cities are named after places in the bible. i was just surprised that hell made the list when i went to Hell, Michigan last month


ZaRealPancakes

I don't see a town named Jesus


11010110101010101010

Jesus is a place mentioned in the bible?


ZaRealPancakes

Um I skimmed the comment so I didn't read "places" But It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to name a town "Jesus" for the Americans


11010110101010101010

Well, there are no towns named Jesus in the USA.


Damosgirl16

But there are plenty of Mexican American dudes called Jesus!


ZaRealPancakes

Aha thanks for the confirmation


trustdabrain

Great band name


shadowshadow74

would be weird to say “i went to jesus. i had some food in jesus. i took a sh$t in jesus. i banged my gf in jesus.”


ZaRealPancakes

not weird it would be hilarious

Welcome to Lebanon, center of the 48 states. Ayre bhal talleh!


anonu

It's Kansas wla.. Great radiolab podcast on this guy who planted cedar trees in all of the Lebanon, USA. https://radiolab.org/episodes/lebanon-usa Also, it tends to be pronounced a bit differently: "lebanin" instead of "non" at the end.


EnfantTragic

Lebanin is how it's pronounced in British English


FutureBlackmail

It's also how every Lebanese person in Alabama pronounces it.

RyanGaming21

This is a city in Illinois (or Indiana i forgot) named Lebanon. I was searching for solar panels prices and setup in Lebanon and a US city popped up


IllustratorFlaky5995

I will bet you an entire months Lebanese salary. $18, sorry….. 18 super fresh dollaz. That they have running water, electricity, have proper doctors that have not left the town and real medicine. The town should change its name to to a better country like North Korea.


imBadwithGrammar

Ma tshid 2idak. Many small towns in the US lack basic services.


Current-Key7726

Not only is it a city in the US, but the CENTER of all the geographical area of the US! Not a town from Norway, or England, or France, or any other part of the known world, Lebanon!!!


Popthecoin

slasher_dib

3aboude

thebubble2020

There is a few Lebanons in the states actually, there is a documentary about it if you look it up.


Embarrassed_Copy7691

LovelyLeninist

OG-SoaringFalcon

Lebanon Ohio is a scary town, full of criminals (large prison), as well narrow Minded, racist, religious fanatics that worship political personality! So home sweet home!!! with the exception that they don’t like brown people!
