Influence[]
The fictional American community takes its name from Babylon, the ancient capital city in ancient Mesopotamia, founded in 1867 BC; its remains are found in present-day Babil Province, Iraq, about 55 miles south of Baghdad. American towns with this name exist in Illinois and New York[1].
