# List of places named for Douglas MacArthur

United States Army General Douglas MacArthur is remembered for his services in many places. Schools, roads and parks are among those that have been named in his honor. MacArthur was enormously popular with the American public, even after his defeat in the Philippines, and across the United States streets, public works, children and even a dance step were named for him during World War II as well. He was very popular with the people of the Philippines (he was the Field Marshal of the Philippine Army in the 1930s) who still consider him a national hero to the present day. There are monuments and historical markers all over the Philippines that memorialize almost every single location where MacArthur served in the Philippines from his first tour there in 1903 to 1961, his final farewell tour to the Philippines.
