The change to Castelló de la Plana is the result of a long-standing debate over the city's name. The city's official name has been Castellón de la Plana since 1837, but the Spanish name Castellón de la Plana has also been commonly used.
Supporters of the new name believe that it will help to promote the city's Valencian identity. They argue that the use of the Spanish name Castellón de la Plana has led to confusion about the city's location and culture.
Opponents of the change argue that it is unnecessary and will only cause further confusion. They point out that the city is already well-known by its Spanish name Castellón de la Plana.
The change to Castelló de la Plana is expected to have a number of impacts on the city. The city's official website and other government documents will need to be updated to reflect the new name. Businesses and organizations in the city will also need to change their letterhead and other materials to reflect the new name.
The change to Castelló de la Plana is a significant moment in the city's history. It is a sign of the city's growing embrace of its Valencian identity.
