Miscellaneous Information


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

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


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 Grandview:

Place (Community) Code:  31248
State Code:  39 (Ohio)
County Code:  049 (Franklin 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:  39/31248
State/County Code:  39/049

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Grandview would have been located in Region #2 (the Midwest Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Grandview would have been located in Division #3 (the East North-Central Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Grandview would have been located in Region V (Region 5).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Grandview would have been located in Region V (Region 5).

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