Reply to comment by Ravekat1 in Ontario Walmart turns into 'hotel' as storm-stranded shoppers get stuck for the night by jormungandrsjig

Chatham-Kent is a place (town, city, dunno not googling it) in Ontario, Canada.

You'll find almost every place in the UK has a twin somewhere in North America. I've never heard of my towns twin but there was a grizzly church murder in Midlothian, Texas which is named after my county.

Thanks! Yea I’ve noticed the twin thing before, but never a town, then a city / district. Double twin!

FYI Chatham has a dockyard which was in use from 1532, so possibly the Canadian town is named by settlers familiar with it.

There's a pretty cool screaming heads tourist attraction in Midlothian Ontario.

Didn't even know Canada had one too. Not surprised but its fun to know.

There is a Midlothian in Virginia as well, although Richmond has largely gobbled it up.
