It is not though simply the change of state/county, but simple evolution of names. I have for instance Salt Lake City some 4700 times in my database. It starts though as Great Salt Lake City, Great Salt Lake in Utah Territory, drops first the Great from the county, then the City and the Territory becomes a State on 4 January 1896. If you want to be absolutely correct the city was founded three years before the Territory was incorporated.
