Miscellaneous Information


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

We've added Gardenville to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Gardenville, 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 Gardenville:

Place (Community) Code:  26070
State Code:  53 (Washington)
County Code:  053 (Pierce 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:  53/26070
State/County Code:  53/053

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Gardenville would have been located in Region #4 (the West Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Gardenville would have been located in Division #9 (the Pacific Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Gardenville would have been located in Region X (Region 10).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Gardenville would have been located in Region X (Region 10).

Footnotes ...

<1>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 Gardenville, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
