Because a lot of American states were named by French explorers and settlers. Places like Louisiana, Vermont, Illinois, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana are a few examples. Vermont is due to the fact that when the french explorer Samuel de Champlain came to the region and saw there was a lot of green mountains. So the word (Vermont) is the addition of the french word Vert (green) and Mont (mountain). Louisiana was named after King Louis of France and states like Illinois were named after the Native tribes that inhabited them before the Europeans came.
Tennessee is a big riverboat state. The Tennessee and Cumberland rivers flow through it, and the Mississippi River forms its western border. Many people don't know it, but barges and riverboats can also navigate up the Arkansas river from the Mississippi as far as Tulsa Oklahoma. I'm not sure why the names are being used in France, however. Riverboating is a little different in America than it is in Europe...
The main street of Minneapolis or St. Paul is named after Pere Henepin? It could be cultural imperialism, the names. Not that I can judge. Is Detroit a French word, related to 'etroite', may I ask? merci beaucoup@@zacaryrobichaud9888
