deseretnews.com | Am. Fork is biggest 'American': " American Fork was originally named Lake City for its proximity to Utah Lake. The name remained in place from 1850, when it was settled, until 1860, after the town was incorporated.
For fear of being confused with Salt Lake City, the bigger neighbor to the north, Lake City's name was changed to American Fork, after the river that runs from American Fork Canyon to Utah Lake."(italics are mine)

Perhaps NSL should see how American Fork faired after it's name change. Why does everyone have the problem of being confused with Salt Lake City?
