Miscellaneous Information

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

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

Place (Community) Code:	74972
State Code:	48 (Texas)
County Code:	325 (Medina 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:	48/74972
State/County Code:	48/325

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Vandenburg would have been located in Region #3 (the South Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Vandenburg would have been located in Division #7 (the West South-Central Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Vandenburg would have been located in Region VI (Region 6).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Vandenburg would have been located in Region VI (Region 6).
