Various Identification Codes

Given the problems created by spelling variations and other naming inconsistencies, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) was created to establish and maintain a uniform name for geographic features (eg- communities, cemeteries, mountains, lakes, etc). The resulting BGN names are kept in a database called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Rosa has been given the GNIS ID of '125932'. Click here to see the GNIS Record for Rosa.

During an older effort, federal agencies worked together to create a set of codes that could be shared and this resulted in the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS Document 55-3). FIPS codes have been assigned to all counties and states. In addition, FIPS codes have been assigned to most (but not all) communities.

The State and County codes related to Rosa:

      State Code: 01 (Alabama)

      County Code: 9 (Blount County)

Since the County FIPS code can be repeated in other States, it's necessary to combine the State and County FIPS codes to uniquely identify Blount County (ie- 01/9).

The FIPS Place code of '66408' has been assigned to Rosa.

As with the County FIPS code, the Place FIPS code can be repeated in other States. It's necessary to combine the State and Place FIPS codes to uniquely identify Rosa (ie- 01/66408).

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Rosa is located in Region #3 (the South Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Rosa is located in Division #6 (the East South-Central Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions: Rosa is located in Region IV (Region 4).
