Almost every city has a nickname as well as an interesting backstory for each. Some names are well known, while others don’t even seem to realize they have nicknames. Sometimes the nicknames are pretty straightforward and easy to understand, while others are tough to figure out. Seattle, also known as the Emerald City, is an example of the latter.
