Well most names like "Munich" were anglicized long before the USA existed. Nowadays we anglicize less - we tend to leave the names of people as they are; if Spanish actor became an international star today, we might call him Christobal Colon; but as it is we're left with past anglicization.
Do you think the French wikipedia should write "london" instead of "londres"?
