). Reasons for this taking place may include the following :
- The town or village existed before the border, or even before the modern concept of a border. The border was added later (not always due to war), and divided a community.
- A community on one side of a border grows up to service the border, and takes the name of the adjacent community on the other side of the border.
- Communities grow up on both sides of the border, to service the border, and take the name of the border crossing.
