List of places named after Queen Victoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Places named after Queen Victoria (in red)

Many places which were once in the former British Empire were named after the British monarch who reigned over it for the greater part of its most dominant period, Queen Victoria. As such, Victoria is one of the most commemorated individuals in place-names around the world.

Other places that have the name "Victoria", without the association with Queen Victoria, tend to be derived from the Spanish language-word for 'victory', see Victoria (disambiguation).
