I know those dang PA Dutch aren't Dutch! They have better hats!
And hell, we have tons of burgs! LOL ... there's an American expression 'from the burgs' that means from the small towns. I'm from the burgs meself!

LOL - no worries, don't lose sleep over it. I'll look it up myself. I was just surprised because my boyhood home had many, many Native American names and lots of towns named after their founders, but I'm having a hard time thinking of any that (to me) seem related to the Dutch.
I'm from SE Pennsylvania and we have lots of PA Dutch names ... but in reality, that's a misnomer, as PA Dutch were actually German Immigrants. Anyway, no sweat, I'll figure it our - LOL
