With many people emigrating from Wales to America as early as the 17th Century, you can find many places in the country with names deriving from Wales, from Bryn Mawr University to Caernarvon, Louisiana.

In America alone, there are at least 13 Cardiffs which range from seaside communities to ghost towns.
