You are confusing the terrain with the community. These `place=` are used to refer to settlements, and they need to be how the public are commonly referring to it currently, not to mentioned for addressing purposes. 
And again, please don't add historic names especially no-longer-existing features as `name=` + `natural=` / `place=` in OSM. They belong to OpenHistoricalMap. OSM describes the reality now, not what you think it should be.
