To find a city with the same name as its state (for example, New York City, New York; Delaware City, Delaware; Iowa City, Iowa), you should specify that it is a "city" in your search. If you do not specify “city” and there is a county in the state with the same name, that county will be returned instead of the city you are looking for.
A valid search would look like this:
-
New York City, NY
-
Delaware City, DE
-
Iowa City, IA
