I thought it was at least named after a Duck, like the McDuck family. But Rosaverse says the founder is called Cornelius Coot and he named it Duckburg for no particular reason.
Side note: Cornelius' beak looks much more like those of confirmed geese like Gladstone Gander, so I'm not even sure he's a duck at all.
Second side note: It's weird that Donald's family tree is filled with waterfowl of all different species, but no dogs (which seems to be 80% of Duckburg's population) or other species. Do they have egg groups like Pokemon?
He could perhaps be a coot ? It's also a waterfowl

That pun went over my head. He doesn't look like a coot though, but geese and ducks look alike in Duck-style, so maybe coots do too.
Probably had duck flight back in the 60s when all those dog people moved in.
