    - Here's the wikipedia page. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 21:18
    - The count should actually be higher, since that's not including stuff like "Port Clinton" or "Clintonville". :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 21:07 3
      - There are two Clintonvilles. Only an idiot would name two towns Clintonville, so I think the data has some issues. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 21:17 1
        
        Wikipedia went the other way: Apparently there are four Clintonvilles. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 21:17
      - But, like I said, the data could be unreliable. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 21:08

  - So it's a partial data set, then? - znufrii, stimulated Apr 22, 21:10
York -- nm - Mop Apr 22, 20:58
San Jose -- nm - Mop Apr 22, 20:58
Worth keeping in mind that I haven't verified the data's accuracy, so it might be up for dispute ... but we'll see. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 20:58
Rome -- nm - Mop Apr 22, 20:57
