@TM, Jersey Shore, PA actually has an interesting history. It is on the west bank of the Susquehanna River. Back in the late-1700s through to the early 1800s, it was called Waynesburg. The founders of Waynesburg were from New Jersey. The people on the east bank hated the people on the west bank and insulted them by calling their side the "Jersey" shore. And then the name stuck and became official.
