Etymology
The "State of Cahoka" is named after the ancient Nimarew city of Cahoka near present-day Cahoka City in the center of the state. The ancient city of Cahoka was also called "El Dorado" and was rumored to be a city made out of gold. More recent archeological excavations however have determined that Cahoka was not a golden city but was a major trading, cultural, political, and economic center for the Nimarew in eastern Rizealand.
