Winchesters around the world

There are 34 places in the world called Winchester

 

From the USA and Canada, to Jamaica, Brazil and New Zealand, there are a total of 34 towns in the world named Winchester, including our own historic city.

 

Twenty-six of these towns are spread across the USA, in such varied locations as Massachusetts, Missouri, Kansas, Idaho and California. Jamaica has three Winchesters, while Canada, New Zealand, Brazil and Australia each have one.

Most of the other Winchesters are smaller than our own Winchester:

 

Winchester, Ontario, for example, has a population of under 2,500, while Winchester in Western Australia appears to be even smaller, with the 2006 census not even mentioning it, and listing only the nearby village of Carnamah, with just under 500 residents.
