Which northwest United States city got its name due to a cartographer's typo?

Nome, Alaska Nome and the Iditarod The Iditarod Race came into being in large part because of a diphtheria epidemic in Nome, Alaska in February, 1925. Nome citizens needed a diphtheria serum to fight the epidemic, and the only way to get the serum to Nome in the middle of winter was to use sled dogs and mushers. This background story eventually led to the creation of the Iditarod Race in 1973. The name "Nome" According to Wikipedia the origin of the name "Nome" is still under debate, with one possible story being that the name "Name" was mistakenly read as "Nome", so a mapmaker used "Nome" as the name of the city. Another possibility is that the name Nome was given by the city's founded, Jafet Lindeberg, originally of Norway. Near his childhood home in Norway there is an area known as Nome Valley.
