Buchanan, Liberia Thomas Buchanan (1808 - September 3, 1841) was the second governor of Liberia and a cousin of James Buchanan, President of the United States. He came to Liberia as the envoy of the American Colonization Society in the 1830s. He worked first as an administrator in Grand Bassa, which later had its capital named Buchanan in his honor. In 1839, Buchanan was sent to Monrovia, where he became the second governor of Liberia after the death of Jehudi Ashmun. He served from April 1, 1839 until his death on September 3, 1841. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Buchanan_%28Governor_of_Liberia%29 Nov 28 11, 11:52 PM

Israel has a kibbutz named for Kennedy. And at least two streets in Jerusalem named after US presidents (Washington, Lincoln). Nov 29 11, 9:57 AM

Stargazer is right, the Liberian city of Buchanan is actually named after the cousin of the US president. I missed that fact when I posted the question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchanan,_Liberia Nov 29 11, 11:05 PM
