There is NO TOWN called West Point. West Point is an Army Post and has been an Army post since the Revolutionary War. That would have been the 18th century for those of you from Wyoming.probably because the ONLY thing worth a crap in West Point, New York is the army military academy.
Annapolis is the Capital of Maryland. Honestly, the only people I have ever refer to the Naval Academy as "Annapolis" is in the movies.And the only thing worth a crap in Annapolis, Maryland is the Naval academy
Basically; west point and annapolis were established for the military academies.

Yeah Pima, i refer to USAFA as "The Academy" as well.
I don't know if that's an insult to people from Maryland or to Americans in general...
Don't look into that too much. It's a good truth. What was the statistic done a couple years ago where some insane number of Americans couldn't even find USA on a world map?!
