Category:Place

Pages describing a geographical area. These pages are concerned with relevant historical information, landmarks, and resources for research.

The modern name of the Place is used; if, in the past, another name was used or political boundaries were different, the page should describe how the modern area was referred to and affiliated historically. Redirects may point from an old to a new name.

"Place" is a generic term, and each Place page belongs to a subcategory. Places are organized into a hierarchy: Locales (counties, municipalities) are part of Territories (states, provinces, small countries), which are part of Regions (subcontinental divisions).
