Locals get to name and pronounce their localities however the fuck they want and they are not wrong.
Here's one for you, is Missouri pronounced Missouree or is it pronounced Missourah ? Which one is right depends on if you live in urban Missouri (St. Louis, Kansas City) or rural Missouri. Urban pronunciation tends to be Missouree. Rural tends to be Missourah. Both are right, although the issue is debated in almost every statewide election.
