Geohashing:Community Portal/Renaming suggestions

The following is a list of renaming suggestions for graticules, based on the geonames.org database, based strictly on city size. Many of them are just

• differences in transcription
• split cities that have named two graticules
• split cities that have not been considered because they are only partly in the graticule in question
• or there are other excellent reasons not to name a graticule after the largest city it contains.

but some of the suggestions are actually reasonable. If you happen to have a lazy afternoon/evening, feel free to browse this list, compare population sizes in wikipedia or whatever better source you have available, and to confirm or disprove these suggestions.

If you can confirm any renaming suggestion as sensible, please try to

• in the case of USA, Canada or Australia: identify the correct state for the graticule.
• contact any local geohashers and ask them for their opinion (if there are any, wait for a response before proceeding).
• change the name of the graticule on the correct subpage in the Category:All graticules.
• move the old graticule page to the new name.

Mark the graticule below as

• (confirmed) - yes, the suggested city is larger that the current namesake
• (moved) - the change has been made
• (not to be moved) - the graticule is not to be renamed, for other reasons (please specify)

or simply remove it from the list, if it is completely irrelevant (e.g. in the case of transcription differences).

The first name on the line is the PROPOSED new name. The second name is the CURRENT name.

A cape in this graticule. Perhaps this should just be Koltur, Faroe Islands. Yet another "not a fan of island-directional graticule names" entry. --January First-of-May (talk) 20:03, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

• 57,-170: Saint Paul, Alaska for St. Paul, Alaska
• 57,-154: Karluk, Alaska for Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska

In areas as sparsely settled as this, it makes sense to name graticules after large parks or geographical features that span most of the graticule rather than hamlets. If geohashers a few graticules away were planning a visit, what would they call it?

• 57,-136: Pelican, Alaska for Lisianski Inlet, Alaska
• 57,-133: Hobart Bay, Alaska for Port Houghton, Alaska

• 56,11: Liseleje, Denmark for Anholt, Denmark

• 56,26: Līvāni, Latvia for Madona, Latvia

Debatable. While Līvāni seems to be larger, Madona is better known and an administrational centre.

• 51,16: Wrocław West, Poland for Legnica, Poland
• 51,17: Wrocław East, Poland for Ostrów Wielkopolski, Poland

Regarding two graticules above - Wrocław is the 4th largest city in Poland by population with over 634k while Legnica is 101k and Ostrów is 72k. The Wrocław Old Town's Main Square center is approx. at 51.110, 17.032 so the 17th meridian cuts the city almost through its center. Also Wrocław is known internationally a lot more than either Legnica or Ostrów.

• 51,24: Kovel', Ukraine for Kovel, Ukraine

• 50,-5: Falmouth, UK for Camborne, United Kingdom
• 50,-2: Poole, UK for Weymouth, United Kingdom
• 50,4: Brussels, BE for Bruxelles, Belgium

Proposing a third variant: "Bruxelles/Brussel, Belgium".

Brussels has a french majority, but is officially bilingual. Since language issues are very important to both Flemic and Wallonians (there is no such thing as a Belgian*) and using the wrong one can get you killed, I think it's appropriate to use the double spelling here. [Ekorren] (* Actually there are twelve Belgians: The king and the soccer national team.)

Debatable, although the other places named Kempten are entirely unknown.

• 47,21: Oradea, Romania for Debrecen, Hungary

While the cities have similar sizes, i'd suggest letting this one remain as-is, since a large part of the graticule is in Hungary. -- CrystyB

• 46,-123: Aberdeen, USA for Astoria, Oregon

I'd say Astoria is better known

• 46,-117: Lewiston, USA for Pullman, Washington
• 46,-116: Lewiston Orchards, USA for Lewiston, Idaho

• 46,-112: Butte, USA for Helena, Montana

Debatable. The population difference isn't major, and both cities are on the edge of the grat, with some of the city on the other side of the grat border. Helena may be more recognizable.

• 46,-107: Hysham, USA for Custer, Montana

To be moved. Hysham is larger and more central.

• 46,-101: New Salem, USA for Flasher, North Dakota

Debatable. New Salem is larger, but Flasher is more central. Also, it'd be a shame to get rid of a name like that. ;)

To be moved. Wishek is significantly larger and more central.

• 46,-95: Detroit Lakes, USA for Perham, Minnesota

• 46,143: Novikovo, Russia for Ozerskoye, Russia

Ozerskoye seems to be about twice as big. No reason to move really.

Debatable. The population difference is negligible, Enterprise is more central, but Union County is also part of the grat.

• 45,-109: Red Lodge, USA for Columbus, Montana

Debatable. Colstrip is slightly larger and a town rather than CDP, but Lame Deer is more central.

• 45,-101: North Eagle Butte, USA for Dupree, South Dakota
• 45,-99: Gettysburg, USA for Hoven, South Dakota

While Gettysburg is larger, it is also on the grat's edge. Perhaps rename it to Eureka, a city as central as Hoven but closer in size to Gettysburg?

Debatable. Sisseton is slightly larger, but Webster is more central.

• 45,-95: Willmar, USA for Alexandria, Minnesota

wmcduff: Agreed. I've heard of Pembroke, but not Denbigh.

wmcduff: Debatable. Renfrew is more central, and Carleton Place feels like a far-flung neighbourhood of Ottawa to me.

• 45,-74: Saint-Jérôme, Canada for Saint-Jérôme West, Québec

wmcduff: Saint-Jérôme is split by the border. I'd say neither and look at Lachute or Dorion, perhaps.

wmcduff: Disagree. St. Stephen, New Brunswick is larger than Calais.

Debatable. John Day is larger, but Prairie City is more central.

wmcduff: Agreed. Brockville is 20K to Ogdensburg's 10K.

• 44,-74: Massena, USA for Potsdam, New York

Probably to be moved. While Potsdam may be more recognizable, Massena is larger, and Potsdam is partly cut off by the grat border.

• 44,33: Sevastopol', Ukraine for Sevastopol, Ukraine

Debatable, I prefer to keep it (Danatar)

• 44,143: Mombetsu, Japan for Monbetsu, Japan

wmcduff: Debatable. While the village website is at 'mombetsu', Wikipedia goes with Monbetsu, which is how I'd write the kana in English.

• 44,145: Otrada, Russia for Mount Rausu, Japan

If anything, it should be Yuzhno-Kuril'sk, Russia. Otrada is a small village, Mount Rausu isn't a settlement at all, Rausu is slightly smaller than Yuzhno-Kuril'sk.

• 43,-100: Rosebud, USA for Murdo, South Dakota

Probably to be moved. Fairmont is larger and more central, and the grat's split equally between the states.

• 43,-93: Mason City, IA for Albert Lea, Minnesota

Probably to be moved. Mason City is larger and only slightly less central than Albert Lea, and the grat's split equally between the states.

• 43,-88: Waukesha, USA for Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Probably to be moved. Waukesha is significantly larger and somewhat more well-known nearby. However, Waukesha is also on the edge of the grat, unlike Fond du Lac.

To be moved. Midland is larger and also the county name.

• 43,-78: Oshawa, Canada for Lockport, New York
• 43,-74: Gloversville, USA for Hamilton County, New York

Probably to be moved, as it seems like grats are generally named after towns, not counties.

Probably to be moved. While Glens Falls is more central, Saratoga Springs is larger and more recognizable.

• 43,-72: Rutland, VT for Claremont, New Hampshire

• 43,144: Bihoro, Japan for Nakashibetsu, Japan

• 42,-107: Jeffrey City, USA for Bairoil, Wyoming

I understand the idea of naming a barely-land graticule for a nearby town, but at least check that it is actually in this town. This graticule's land area is entirely in Hamanaka. --January First-of-May (talk) 15:00, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• 41,-117: McDermitt, USA for Paradise Hill, Nevada

First, the town is Paradise Valley. Second, McDermitt straddles the graticule line, while Paradise Valley is fairly central.

• 41,-112: Roy, USA for Clearfield, Utah

Debatable. Roy is bigger, but is closer to the graticule border.

• 41,-108: Superior, USA for Table Rock, Wyoming

To be moved. Table Rock is now a ghost town, with no population, making Superior a good option despite being near the grat border. (Point of Rocks, the other city in the grat, has a population of 3, as opposed to Superior's several hundred.)

• 41,-102: Sidney, USA for Chappell, Nebraska

Debatable. While Sidney is significantly larger, it also is near the grat border.

• 41,-96: Fremont, USA for Omaha, Nebraska

To be moved. Omaha is split along the grat border.

• 41,-94: Perry, USA for Adair, Iowa

Probably to be moved. While Adair is more central, Perry is significantly larger.

• 41,-82: Lorain, USA for Sandusky, Ohio

Probably to be moved. Lorain is significantly larger than Sandusky.

• 41,-73: Bridgeport, USA for Danbury, Connecticut

∼∼∼: (approved) Looks inactive

Danbury is more central, but Bridgeport is larger. Debatable.

• 41,-69: Eastham, USA for Chatham, Massachusetts

• 41,-6: Macedo de Cavaleiros, Portugal for Bragança, Portugal
• 41,9: Porto-Vecchio, France for Bonifacio, France

• 40,-121: Burney, USA for Chester, California

Debatable. Burney is larger, but Chester is somewhat more central.

• 40,-119: Burning Man, USA for Gerlach, Nevada

Probably to be moved. Burning Man is certainly more well-known outside the region than the small town of Gerlach.

• 40,-114: West Wendover, USA for Wendover, Nevada

To be moved. West Wendover is the Nevada city which falls within the grat.

• 40,-102: Yuma, USA for Holyoke, Colorado

Debatable. While Yuma is bigger, Holyoke is more central.

• 40,-98: Grand Island, USA for Hastings, Nebraska

Debatable. While Grand Island is bigger, Hastings is more central and perhaps more recognizable.

• 40,-97: York, USA for Seward, Nebraska

Probably to be moved. York is larger and somewhat more central.

• 40,-95: Nebraska City, NE for Shenandoah, Iowa

Debatable. Nebraska City is larger, but the grat is slightly more Iowa, and Shenandoah is more central.

• 40,-94: Maryville, MO for Bedford, Iowa

Probably to be moved. Maryville is significantly larger than Bedford, and the grat's cut in half between the two states.

• 40,-93: Trenton, USA for Princeton, Missouri

Debatable. While Trenton is larger, Princeton is more central.

• 40,-88: Champaign, USA for Champaign/Urbana, Illinois

Debatable. While Champaign is the bigger of the two cities, they're often referred to together (like the Twin Cities), often in the context of University of Illinois.

• 40,-83: Marion, USA for Marysville, Ohio

Probably to be moved. Marion is larger, and the nearby county is named Marion.

• 39,-122: Corning, USA for Orland, California

Debatable. The population difference is small, and Orland is somewhat more central.

• 39,-111: Santaquin, USA for Nephi, Utah

Debatable. While Santaquin is bigger, it's also near the grat border.

• 39,-106: Edwards, USA for Vail, Colorado

Debatable. Edwards is bigger, but Vail is home to a well-known ski resort.

• 39,-101: Colby, USA for Goodland, Kansas

Debatable. While Colby is slightly larger, it's also closer to the grat border.

• 39,-100: Oskaloosa, USA for Grinnell, Kansas

While Oskaloosa is bigger than Grinnell, Grinnell is home to a fairly well-known liberal arts college, making this one debatable.

• 39,-99: Norton, USA for Stockton, Kansas

Debatable. While Norton is bigger, Stockton is more central.

• 39,-98: Beloit, USA for Osborne, Kansas

Debatable. While Beloit is larger, Osborne is more central and the name of one of the counties.

• 39,-97: Concordia, USA for Belleville, Kansas

Probably to be moved. Concordia is significantly larger and more central.

• 39,-94: North Kansas City, USA for Kansas City, Missouri

• 39,-85: Columbus, USA for Greensburg, Indiana

Arguable. While Columbus is significantly larger than Greensburg, Greensburg is more central, and Columbus risks confusion with the nearby city of Columbus, Ohio.

Probably to be moved. Springfield is significantly larger.

• 39,-82: Columbus, USA for Lancaster, Ohio
• 39,-81: Parkersburg, WV for Marietta, Ohio

Debatable. Fairmont is slightly bigger, Clarksburg somewhat more central.

• 39,-78: Winchester, VA for Cumberland, Maryland

Probably to be moved. While McPherson is somewhat more central, Salina is significantly larger.

• 38,-94: Overland Park, USA for South Kansas City, Missouri
• 38,-93: Sedalia, USA for Warrensburg, Missouri

Debatable. Warrensburg is actually bigger, but Sedalia may be more recognizable.

• 38,-88: Mount Vernon, USA for Fairfield, Illinois

Probably to be moved, as Mount Vernon has 10k more people and is less likely to be confused for other grats. However, Fairfield is more central.

• 38,-86: Jasper, USA for Bedford, Indiana

Jasper is somewhat larger, Bedford somewhat more central.

• 38,-84: Lexington-Fayette, USA for Frankfort, Kentucky

Lexington is much bigger than Frankfort, although it's on the edge of the grat... while it's a part of the official name, is the -Fayette needed?

• 34,-119: Oxnard, USA for Santa Barbara, California

Oxnard is more populous than Santa Barbara, and which of the two is more recognizable is debatable.

Certainly Santa Barbara is more recognizable and historically significant. After all that most excellent TV show Psych is conspicuously set here. Although if we were going after recognizable we would have to add Ojai into the mix. I lean towards keeping it Santa Barbara, but the only active hasher is working out of the greater Oxnard area. --Scerruti

And the largest feature is Los Padres National Park. I'd recommend listing the names of larger towns like Oxnard on the page itself, just so a search for Oxnard will hit the page (it doesn't hit anything now.) -- Jevanyn

Is this a vote to leave it Santa Barbara? -- Scerruti

• 34,136: Yokkaichi, JP for Tsu, Japan
• 33,-116: Hemet, USA for Borrego Springs, California

Yes, Hemet may be larger in population but I happen to know for a fact that no one there geohashes or even owns a computer. Actually Palm Springs could make an argument for this Graticule as well, you may have heard of it, the Rat Pack used to hang out there. But, this Graticule is dominated by California's largest State Park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, an immense wilderness that will only not try to kill you for two weeks in the spring when the flowers are blooming. Therefore I suggest it be left as-is. --Scerruti

What, not "Hellhole Palms"? ;-) -- Jevanyn

• 33,-115: Calipatria, USA for Joshua Tree, California

Yeah, right. Not even going to research this one. I mean would you rather have a graticule named for a U2 album or something that sounds like a disease? --Scerruti

Or Salton See, so it can be named after an ecological disaster.... -- Jevanyn

• 33,-100: Spur, USA for Aspermont, Texas

• 33,-96: Plano, USA for McKinney, Texas

Debatable. Plano is significantly larger and more recognizable, but is also on the edge of the grat.

• 33,-92: El Dorado, USA for Camden, Arkansas

Probably to be moved. El Dorado has more residents and is probably more well-known.

• 33,-91: Greenville, USA for Monticello, Arkansas

• 32,-116: El Cajon, USA for Tecate, Mexico

Tecate is not a good name for this graticule, at least until geohashing catches on in Mexico. However El Cajon is not much better. I would suggest Alpine, CA as the replacement name, but I would like to hear opinions. --Scerruti

I'd suggest keeping Tecate. There is a town on either side of the border with that name, and it's smack in the center. Short of making Tijuana a split city (and pissing off everyone in San Diego), I'd leave it as is. And there have been geohashes in Mexico (I think relet did one?) -- Jevanyn

relet's map shows successful hashes around Mexico City. There is only one apparent cross border (from: US to Mexico) attempt shown and I believe that was a typo and did not actually happen in Mexico. I am frankly shocked I didn't realize that this graticule needs to be left as-is because there is a beer named after it. -- Scerruti

• 32,34: Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel for Tel-Aviv (Goosh Dan), Israel
• 32,35: Irbid, Jordan for Haifa East, Israel

For all we know, the largest city in that graticule could be Amman North in the very southeast corner; but even if that is true (which is likely if hard to prove), such a name would be incredibly unrepresentative of the graticule (which is mostly Israel and contested areas). Irbid is still much larger than Haifa East, however.

Ascensión is split. OTOH, Puerto Palomas is larger than Columbus, and most of the graticule is in Mexico. If I was naming this graticule I'd have called it "Ascensión East, Mexico" and 31,-108 "Ascensión West, Mexico". --January First-of-May (talk) 16:49, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

+1 for 'Puerto Palomas, Mexico'. The main reason people have heard of Columbus is that Pancho Villa raided their armory, so might as well give the grat a Mexican placename anyway. Arlo (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

• -49,70: Port-aux-Français, TF for Kerguelen Islands East, Indian Ocean

As a (relative) non-fan of island-plus-compass-direction names like that, I propose a full set of place names: Port-aux-Français, Kerguelen for -49,70, Port Bizet, Kerguelen for -49,69 (to be discussed, many options in this graticule), Port Curieuse, Kerguelen for -49,68, Port Christmas, Kerguelen for -48,69, La Montjoie, Kerguelen for -48,68, and Îles de Boynes, Kerguelen for -50,68. --January First-of-May (talk) 23:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

As the one who named those graticules, I oppose these suggestions. The majority of people on Earth don't even know that the Kerguelen islands exist. Those that do might know that they are in the Indian Ocean, the next fact would be that they are cold and barely inhabitated. Anything more is extremely special knowledge. Right now, everybody who reads "Kerguelen Islands Northwest" will know that the respective graticule is the northwestern one. I see absolutely no gain in renaming the graticule, because when I read "Port Curieuse" I will know less about where the graticule is than when I read "northwest". The Kerguelen islands are a largely uninhabited place and nobody goes there except for some scientists. If and when somebody ever goes geohashing there, they can ask the locals about which port or hill or strange-looking rock is most important to define the area. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

• -51,-59: Port Howard, FK for Falkland Sound, Falkland Islands, Atlantic Ocean

...There's a lot to be said about the Falkland graticules. Little of it pleasant. It's worse than Kerguelen. Um, could I have a table?

Lat\Long	-61	-60	-59	-58	-57
-50	Jason West Cay, Falkland Islands	Atlantic Ocean	Atlantic Ocean	Atlantic Ocean	Atlantic Ocean
-51	Beaver Island, Falkland Islands	Fox Bay, Falkland Islands	Port Howard, Falkland Islands	Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands	Stanley, Falkland Islands
-52	Orford Hill, Falkland Islands	Port Stephens, Falkland Islands	North Arm, Falkland Islands	Bleaker Island, Falkland Islands	Atlantic Ocean

Note for -51,-61: Weddell [sic] Island is only partly in this graticule, and its main settlement is outside it.

Note for -52,-61: "Cape Orford" could work, but the corresponding settlement is just outside this graticule.

Note for -52,-58: there are larger islands in this graticule, but this appears to be the only populated one.

...OK, that should be all of it. I think. For now, anyway. --January First-of-May (talk) 21:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

• -51,-58: Goose Green Settlement, FK for East Falkland Center, Atlantic Ocean

As far as I can tell, Mount Pleasant is larger and not as close to the edge. (See also above for a more general treatment of the Falklands.) --January First-of-May (talk) 21:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Similar to the Kerguelen islands, the names for these graticules should stay as they are until the locals decided on a better name. While the Falklands are much more inhabitated than the Kerguelen islands, the current scheme is much more useful for anybody who hasn't extensive knowledge about local geography. Don't make it unnecessarily complicated and don't rename any graticules that don't need changes without having been there. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
