Steven, On this side of the pond, historically it was necessary for a town to have a population in excess 0f 100,000 *or* a cathedral. More recently, on the recommendation of the government, the Queen has created cities to commemorate special occasions.

In Ohio, when I was growing up, any populated place with less than 5000 inhabitants was a Village.. After 5000 you could become a City. Also, in states that use the township system a specific location could be Deerfield (Twp), Mason (village or city), Warren (County), Ohio (State or territory), USA. Of course there are also Indian Reservations which can have interesting location names. And the pre-USA locations have been discussed several times on the list.

Once you've got the geo-code, you can edit the the location name on the way out before saving. i foten do that for old colonial cites that have since changed name, or cities that have csince changes jurisdiction at the county/state level. I use the modern name and location to geo-code, then edit to the original name before saving. This can be done with European 3 place addresses as well to remove the fourth place comma after geo-coding. -- Steven C.
