Cheerfully introducing government agencies, archives, and libraries to Freedom of Information laws since 2015.
BTW, we wrote the custom software seen here processing the state gazetteer. And we plan to open source it, GPLv3!
In case, like, any of you guys also want to go geocode enormous data sets of locations, some of which are tiny hamlets, possibly with spelling mistakes, maybe no longer extant. Fun!

A HINT for our long-time fans:
