When going to a new airport, the AD would have sometimes something like :
Monroe County Airport, Bloomington, IN

What call should I do ?
Monroe County tower, Cessna XXXX ...
or
Bloomington tower, Cessna XXXX ...


If you look he http://www.airnav.com/airport/KBMG
for Monroe County Airport, Bloomington, IN, you find it being called
Bloomington Tower.

Take a look at KSNA: http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSNA

While it indicates that the correct radio call is John Wayne Tower, I
prefer to call them Orange County or Santa Ana. I've never had any
difficulty.
