Louisville Colorado, Kentucky, Nebraska (that I know of).
If you're talking Lebanons, add Pennsylvania to the list.
It's the home of a lunch meat that's popular in Pennsylvania and nearby areas - an Amish specialty known as Lebanon bologna. It looks more like salami than bologna and comes in sweet and savory versions.

Well, I was talking Louisvilles, but yeah. I'm familiar with "Lebanon Bologna".
There is a Lebanon, Nebraska as well, pop. 80. https://www.city-data.com/forum/newre...e=1&p=54512462 There are a bunch of places in Nebraska with names of Pennsylvania places, e.g. York (also York County), Hershey, Lancaster County, etc. The area must have been settled by Pennsylvanians!

There is a string of towns along a railroad line that runs north-south through central Oklahoma that bear the names of Main Line suburbs.
Ardmore is the largest of these towns. There are six in all: Wayne, Overbrook, Paoli, Ardmore, Wynnewood, and Berwyn. (This letter in the Daily Oklahoman erroneously lists a seventh, Marietta, that has no Main Line equivalent.)
The railroad in question was surveyed by a fellow who had worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and according to the letter, it was built with Pennsylvania Railroad money.
I am from Oregon, so this one should be easy for me, since Oregon ripped off the names of many cities and stuck them in their state. Even Oregon's largest and most famous city was ripped off from the original city in Maine.. Thanks Mr. Lewis and Clark

Edit after reading a previous post: Salem OR and IN
There is a difference between the two Kansas Cities and the other two paired next-door neighbors:
In Bristol and Texarkana, the state line is the main street of both cities; their downtowns are adjacent (and the Texarkanas' post office building sits astride the state line).
In Kansas City, the state line is just another street, and the two cities' respective downtowns are separated by the floodplain surrounding the point where the Kansas and Missouri rivers meet. North of this point, the state line's a river.
Not sure if it was mentioned but Newark NJ and Newark DE - both pronounced differently
