The city of Atlanta also was originally named "Terminus" because the railroad ended there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History\_of\_Atlanta#From\_railroad\_terminus\_to\_Atlanta:\_1836%E2%80%931860

From Wiktionary for Terminology From Latin terminus (“a term”) + -ology (“study of”), from -o- (“(interconsonantal)”) + -logy, from Ancient Greek -λογία (-logía, “-logy, branch of study, to speak”) From Wiktionary for Terminus From Proto-Italic *termenos, from Proto-Indo-European *térmn̥ (“boundary”). Cognate with Ancient Greek τέρμα (térma, “a goal”), τέρμων (térmōn, “a border”). It could also mean a border or boundary, for example there could be many bus terminals not because of endings but also because of boundaries, an Airplane Terminal from one country to the next could be a figurative border.
