What US city was named after a mountain that was never called by that name?

Arpeggionist

Moriah, there are countless towns of that name in the United States alone. The refernce is clearly to the mountain known as Moriah in Jerusalem, which the Bible refers to in Genesis as "one of the mountains [in the land of Moriah], which I will tell you [to take your son to]". Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac there. Feb 08 06, 9:22 AM
