Is There a U.S. City Named Jerusalem?

No U.S. State Has a City Named Jerusalem

Despite numerous American towns bearing biblical names (Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho, Hebron), no incorporated U.S. city or town is officially named Jerusalem.

The Real Jerusalem

Jerusalem is an ancient city in the Middle East, situated on the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean Sea and Dead Sea. It straddles the Green Line separating Israel and the West Bank, holding profound significance for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

U.S. "Jerusalem" References

• Jerusalem, Arkansas: Unincorporated community in Conway County
• Jerusalem, Ohio: Unincorporated area in Monroe County
• Jerusalem, Rhode Island: Village in Narragansett
• Jerusalem Township, Ohio: Lucas County township
• New Jerusalem: Several small communities use this variant

These are unincorporated communities, villages, or townships—not independent municipalities. The absence of a major "Jerusalem, USA" likely reflects early settlers' preference for other biblical names or historical circumstances.
