Miscellaneous Information


So far, we found very little information about Fort McClellan. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Fort McClellan to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Fort McClellan, please Contact Us.


Various Identification Codes ...

FIPS Codes ...

In a past effort, various federal agencies worked together to create a set of codes with a purpose similar to the GNIS codes. These codes are called the Federal Information Processing Standard (or the FIPS 55 codes). Although they are still used by some organizations, the FIPS codes are obsolete and will ultimately be replaced by the GNIS codes.

The following FIPS codes apply to Fort McClellan:

Place (Community) Code:  27544
State Code:  01 (Alabama)
County Code:  015 (Calhoun County)

Since the Place and County FIPS codes are not unique and can be repeated in other States, it's necessary to combine the State code with the Place and County FIPS codes to uniquely identify them - for example:

State/Place Code:  01/27544
State/County Code:  01/015

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Fort McClellan would have been located in Region #3 (the South Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Fort McClellan would have been located in Division #6 (the East South-Central Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Fort McClellan would have been located in Region IV (Region 4).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Fort McClellan would have been located in Region IV (Region 4).

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Fort McClellan, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
