@WillaKissing Wrong signage style for the UK. And towns with ville endings are rare. The type and style of the sign look US to me though.

@WillaKissing Someone should write a book on the etymology of place names. Why should there be a a place name ending in -ville in Indiana, is there some French connections?
The only one I can think of in England does make sense, if the local legends are correct: Waterlooville, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterlooville

@ninalanyon I would have to guess it is the French connection to the US and Canada from the colonial time period because both the US and Canada have tons of "Villes" through out their landscapes.
