118. But Buffalo, NY isn't named for a animal!
The French trading post at that location was Belle Flume... the local Indians mispronounced it Bull Flo... when the French were driven out, the English mispronounced the Indian misproununciation, and it became Buffalo... an animal that the local tribes had no knowledge of.

57. Named for Gila Basin
Now to look up how Gila Basin got it's name...

Seems to be named after the Gila River... which got it's name because it drains the Gila Basin... Gila Bend is named for the Gila River... Gila Wilderness area is named for the Gila Basin... near as I can tell, everything is either named after the River or the Basin, but there's no origin for the word 'Gila'... Gila means 'joy' in Hebrew, but somehow I don't think Navite Americans nor Spanish explorers would use a Hebrew word to name something... Babelfish doesn't translate it to or from Spainish... I'm guessing it's a Native American word, but you got me.

nobody's ever come up for an origin for the name "Oregon" either...
I actually read somewhere that the state was named after "oregano"...

86. Thanks for looking!
I couldn't find anything from the Spanish either - interesting. Hebrew wouldn't be completly out of the question for Spain but I bet its a native word as well - now I am really curious (I live in the greater Gila watershed so I just gotta find out!)

For those of you playing along at home, a cos is a female swan while the male is a cob.

36. A few from New Jersey....
Colts Neck
Deerfield Township
Elk Township

I'm sure there are more, but I'd have to research and translate the large number of towns/cities in New Jersey that have Native American words as their names...surely there are some animals in there somewhere. :)
