Miscellaneous Information

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

We've added Villa Rica to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Villa Rica - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Villa Rica, 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 Villa Rica:

Place (Community) Code:	74500
State Code:	12 (Florida)
County Code:	099 (Palm Beach 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:	12/74500
State/County Code:	12/099

Regional Codes ...

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

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Villa Rica would have been located in Division #5 (the South Atlantic Division).

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

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