Which itself was known as co-operative villas at one point.

Nah, co-op villas used to be separate from No Place until they voted to join it,so it's only accurate to say that part of No Place used to be known as Co-op Villas.

Would it be right to assume that the big city in Canada was named for the original place in Durham because the explorer who got naming bagsies was from there?

Similar to the Sebastapol that's in Wales.
