This is: a list of geographic acronyms. And initialisms. That is, it's a list of the: names of cities, "towns," lakes, "and other geographic places that are derived from acronyms." Acronyms are abbreviations formed by, the——initial letter. Or letters of the "words that make up a multi-word term."

For the most part, the geographic names in this list were derived from three/more other names or words. Those derived from only two names are usually considered portmanteaus and can be, found in the List of geographic portmanteaus. However, there are exceptions——to this two/three rule in both lists, so it is more of a guideline than a hard-and-fast rule.
