Istobri@reddit (OP)

Oh, most of the places in Canada outside Quebec were probably named after places and people from the UK, and probably Ireland too. Quebec probably has some too, although most of the places there have French names, since it's the only province where French is the primary language.

KhaelonVoss@reddit

There's an industrial and innovation park in Southampton, UK called Adanac Park. It's named after Adanac Farm, a farm that previously occupied the site. Local heritage records and lore suggest the farm was named by a family who had emigrated to Canada but later returned to the Southampton area. So they named it Canada Farm, but spelled it backwards to indicate their journey. One of the first organisations on the site was Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency of GB.

East Kilbride has the same.

When the Scottish new towns were built they had to come up with names for dozens and dozens of new streets. Often they picked a theme for a neighbourhood and at the time there was a lot of Scottish migration to Canada so Canada must have been a common theme.

[-]

mrnico7@reddit

Sir_Monty_Jeavons@reddit

I know of one place here in Lincolnshire 'named after' Canada, but everything else named places in Canada - let me explain.

There is a track in a town not too far from me called 'Canada Lane'. It's reportedly called that because it was the top fields here that were allocated for export sheep to... Canada. The town holds the record for Britains largest sheep fair, so this kind of makes sense, as this was done up at the fleece inn pub which these fields are very close too.

However, that town is called Caistor. There is also a Caistor in Ontario, somewhere west of niagra falls I think. This doesn't seem that interesting until you start looking at the surrounding settlement names in Canada and then look out for them in the area of Lincolnshire, UK, surrounding Caistor... just to name a few we have: Grimsby, Lincoln, Pelham (name of the local lord), Binbrook, Glanford (Brigg). These are all hyper local to a very small area here in the UK. A little wider afield in this same area Canada has Cambridge, Dover, Norwich, London, Stratford...

I have never properly dug into this but I was once told that it was because land allocations were made in Canada via auction or what not and they wanted the lots to sound familiar to those bidding. I don't know if this has legs or not but it is completely 'bizarre' that a very small area of Canada shares a number of names very familiar to a very small area of the UK.
