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).

Shady Grove has been given the GNIS ID of '126585'. Click here to see the GNIS Record for Shady Grove.

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 Shady Grove:

      State Code: 01 (Alabama)

      County Code: 31 (Coffee 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 Coffee County (ie- 01/31).

The FIPS Place code of '69456' has been assigned to Shady Grove.

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 Shady Grove (ie- 01/69456).
