America conquers the world

Musing#5
Hi folks,
Last weekend made the trip to Niagara falls. For this we travelled by interstate freeway #90 from Boston to Buffalo. On the way came across places with names of cities in other countries like Amsterdam, Rome, Geneva and to top it all came across a place calleed New Lebanon.
At the information centre in Geneva city asked the girl who was incharge the reason why this city is named after a city in Switzerland, even she was not knowing but she was apologetic about it.
Is this American way of conquering the world? Can anyone give an explanation in this regard please? Waiting for the comments.
