Various Identification Codes ...
FIPS Codes ...
In a past effort, various federal agencies created 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 Manton:
| Place (Community) Code: | 49836 |
| State Code: | 21 (Kentucky) |
| County Code: | 071 (Floyd 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: | 21/49836 |
| State/County Code: | 21/071 |
Regional Codes ...
For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Manton would have been located in Region #3 (the South Region).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Manton would have been located in Region IV (Region 4).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Manton would have been located in Region IV (Region 4).
ZIP Codes ...
While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Manton, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Manton. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code are defined by the needs of the USPS and can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.

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 Manton, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
