This list seems to be missing Akron, which is listed on the page of us cities
[edit] Ohio school districts
I posted an item for discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. special districts#Ohio school districts on what to name articles on our school districts. I'd appreciate Wikipedians looking at my query and posting comments there. PedanticallySpeaking 18:40, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] County seats and villages
There are a number of county seats in Ohio, presently included in this list, which are technically villages and not cities:
- Cadiz
- Caldwell
- Carrollton
- Georgetown
- Jefferson
- Lisbon
- McArthur
- McConnelsville
- Millersburg
- Mount Gilead
- Ottawa
- Pomeroy
- West Union
- Woodsfield
Additionally, Barberton is listed with its county, implying that it is the county seat of Summit County instead of Akron (which does not have the county name appearing after its position on the list). Covington and a number of other places (some not even villages!) are likewise listed in this manner, although these are neither county seats nor even cities. A number of other cities are also listed with their county names. For now, I'm removing the villages and other non-county seats, and adding "Summit County" to Akron's position on the list, but I wonder if the village county seats should also be removed.
Interestingly, East Palestine and Gallipolis remain on the list even though their populations are now less than 5 000 each; East Palestine was chartered as a city in 1875, and Gallipolis (the county seat, by the way, of Gallia County) was likewise chartered prior to its population's dropping below 5 000. So population isn't the only criterion for an Ohio city, though it is the primary one. -- SwissCelt 17:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
