Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Arab came from various goverment sources (GNIS, US Census, FIPS), we also found mention of Arab in various books, maps and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Arab. We hope that they will be useful to you.
