Pretty much, yeah. I can't think of a large city that doesn't have a well-known nickname, some have several. All the states have nicknames as well. Ohio is "The Buckeye State". The 'Buckeye' is a distinctive looking inedible (poisonous, actually) nut from the Buckeye tree.

Is the same true in Europe?
