Miscellaneous Information

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

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

Place (Community) Code:	62256
State Code:	42 (Pennsylvania)
County Code:	091 (Montgomery 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:	42/62256
State/County Code:	42/091

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Port Kennedy would have been located in Region #1 (the Northeast Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Port Kennedy would have been located in Division #2 (the Middle Atlantic Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Port Kennedy would have been located in Region III (Region 3).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Port Kennedy would have been located in Region III (Region 3).
