Nearest Communities to Galloway,
Listed County-By-County

The purpose of this page is to identify those communities that are closest to Galloway, on a County-by-County basis. To explain further, let's use the example from the Genealogy Helper Page for Galloway:

We have great-grandparents who lived in a small community in the southwest corner of their home county. During their lives, most doctors and hospitals were in the next county to the west. Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the south.

When doing our research, we make it a practice to expand our search by looking in neighboring counties in addition to the county in which they lived:  their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the west contained birth and death records; the county to the south contained their burial records. If we hadn't checked the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information.

Keep in mind that when we give a distance, it's a 'straight-line' distance.<1>

If you're researching your genealogy, we hope that the following information helps.

Although our information shows that the community of Galloway is historic,<2> it would have been located within present day Morrow County.

The following 6 counties adjoin and form the boundaries of Morrow County: Gilliam, Grant, Umatilla, Wheeler, Benton (WA) & Klickitat (WA).

Our Gazetteer shows that there are 64 communities within 40 miles [64.4 km]<1> of Galloway. Of these communities, 37 are located in counties other than Morrow County.

We usually exclude communities where we still need to verify their location,<3> but for the purpose of this page, we have included the unverified ('unver') and historic ('hist') communities.

After starting with the home county for Galloway (which is Morrow County), we list the counties in alphabetical order and for each of those counties, the closest communities are listed in order of their distance from Galloway

For the following list, only those counties that contain communities within 40 miles [64.4 km] are displayed.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Galloway) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Galloway. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.5579, Longitude: -119.4459       In this case, the coordinates for Galloway have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2>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 Galloway, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
