Long-Form State Spelling

1. I create numerous city locations within the county website.

2. I double-check and each city location I created and saved uses the two-letter state abbreviation. There is no duplicate city locations when I finish building all locations.

3. Next, I create a business listing and I have no access to STATE while building the listing because the business listing field form requires address, city, zip and then Google Map auto-fills the coordinates below the map.

4. Next, I save my newly created business listing and view it on the front-end and the listing address on the right sidebar on the listing details page contains the long-form spelling of the state which contradicts the location I created using the two-letter abbreviation.

5. Next, when I visit the multi-location management I find two city locations as follows:

A. One of those two city locations is the one I created using the two-letter state abbreviation;
B. The second city location is not my work, and this second city location was created by the system and contains the long-form spelling of the state.

The automated creation of a second city location by the system containing the long-form spelling of the state causes (in some instances) the address format to break whenever the city name is two words of lengthy characters coupled with the two-word state spelled out in long-form forces the zip code to drop down to the next line which is not the appropriate US-based address format. I would like to have locations using the two-letter abbreviation for my state and not spelled out in long form so the zip code never breaks to the line below.

Why is the system creating two city locations? One should be enough.
