I don't know the origin of Mouseton, but this isn't it.  Sure, Marv 
Wolfman wrote a four part story entitled "The Weapons Master" (?)
involving Prince Penguin, Bad Pete, and Emil Eagle.  But, the city 
is called Mouseton in the very first chapter.  The city isn't 
renamed after Mickey.  Besides, Mickey is too humble to accept 
such an honor.

The name is not limited to Marv's stories.  Egmont also calls Mickey's 
hometown Mouseton.

Though I don't think its been stated explicitedly, it been implied
implicetly that Donald and Daisey moved away.  Relize that there are
two separate universes - one for Ducks and one for Mice.  I suspect
that The Life of Scrooge will show Donald being born and raised in
Duckburg.  This isn't a contradiction because they are two separate
universes.

Don't mix comic books and animation.  They've got nothing to do with
each other.  The Goofy of the Mouse Universe lives in Mouseton.  The
Goofy of the Goof Troop Universe lives in Spoonerville.  If you want
to know the origin of Spoonerville, watch the closing credits closely.
