(Outline written by Laurie Bennett.) I wanted to let folks know about a feature we’ve just launched that allows researchers to search for communities by their former names. This web site is FREE and is designed to help web users find information about American cities and towns. Our database now includes some of the following information and data:

  • Information on every county in the U.S.
  • Profiles of more than 27,000 cities, towns, villages and hamlets.
  • More than 12,000 common misspellings of American place names.
  • More than 5,000 former place names of communities in 37 states. (We plan to have national coverage in the new database by early 2005.)
  • Includes a database from hundreds of published sources prior to post offices names, railroad depots, and plat names, informal place names and merged communities.
  • Links researchers to historic documents, which may include outdated place names to current resources such as libraries, cemeteries and historical societies.

Note – Journalists formerly with the Detroit Free Press, the New York Times and the American Demographics Magazine compiled this site.
