| <2> | The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Coshocton. While it might not be exactly right, hopefully it will be close. If we have it wrong or there's a better way to pronounce the name, please contact us through our Feedback Page. |
| <3> | A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Coshocton refer to themselves. It's important to note that there aren't any rules for taking a city's name and turning it into a demonym. A demonym is informal and while the majority of Coshocton may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different. |

| <5> | The elevation is an estimate for the area around Coshocton - it will be higher in some places and lower in others. |
| <6> | When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 740 code has been Overlayed with the 220 area code. New phone numbers in the Coshocton area will be assigned with one of these codes: 740 or 220. As a result, placing a call in the Coshocton area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
