Jamaica, New York

Depending on how you Google it, Jamaica, New York, either really exists, or is just a fancy name for Queens. I'm really rusty on my history of New York City, but I think Queens is a borough, so I suspect that Jamaica was once a town or other municipality that got absorbed by the Big Apple. Sort of link CenturyTel absorbing a different company, changing the name to CenturyLink, then absorbing Qwest (and the Qwest brand will likely cease to exist entirely in a few years). I'm telling you, Judge Green is seriously unhappy about this (q.v. the 1984 breakup of AT&T).
