There’s “twin cities” and “tri-cities” everywhere in the world.
Villages grow into towns, which grown into cities, which grow into metropoli. Very often at some point in that process, city borders overgrow each other, until they’re just one big city for all intents and purposes, divided only by a very arbitrary political line. Local people start calling them “The Twin-cities” or “The Tri-city area” by that point, as if there weren’t a thousand others that could be described the same way elsewhere. 😛
Yes. In California, Marysville and Yuba City refer to themselves as “the Twin Cities”.
No, you’re not supposed to have heard of either one. Nobody outside Northern California has ever heard of them, and not too many people INSIDE NorCal have. Yes, they’re THAT small. No, “the Twin Towns” just wouldn’t have had the same ring to it.
Wait… Twin Cities? AWESOME! I LIVE HERE!
