Washington: why the hell is the city of Washington not in Washington?

There's also Washington Island. It's nowhere near Washington state or DC. It's in Lake Michigan, and is part of Wisconsin, not Michigan.

Aside from the island, Wisconsin has 7 different towns named Washington, though most of them have a population in the hundreds.

Of course they have nothing on Indiana, which has 46 towns named Washington, or Iowa, which has 49.

And both University of Washington, in the state, and wash U, in St. Louis. Both are major medical centers.
