Inhabited place

The center point of the inhabited place is located, as the case may be, at the center of the economic and commercial activity of the inhabited place, in the oldest neighborhood, at a road intersection, near an important physical landmark such as a church or a town hall, or at the center of gravity of a concentration of homes. Place names are mostly names of inhabited places. Those written in straight characters correspond to the official names of municipalities and those in italics represent common names (former municipality, village, district, sector, hamlet, locality). In some cases, the common name is shown in brackets along with the official name. Names of uninhabited places are included as geographical reference points.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
