HOW TO ORDER MUNICIPAL BIRTH DATES IN CITIES DATABANK™

For Non-Astrology Customers, municipalities data in CitiesDatabank™ are now available in Microsoft Access™ format.
The advantage of ordering municipal birth dates in database format is that source documentation for the date of earliest self-government can be included and more data elements for each municipality are available in this format than in Microsoft Excel™ format (see below).  Examples of parameters you could use to select municipalities from the repository database include but are not limited to:  municipalities in a particular state; municipalities in specific counties of a particular state; municipalities above or below a specific population threshold or within a range (using the 2000 Census data); municipalities in a particular Census Bureau region, or municipalities that became self-governing prior to or after a specific date.  At the present time, there are more than 3,800 municipalities from 48 states in the Microsoft Access™ repository database but Gary is still in the process of entering all of the municipalities for which he has the date of earliest self-government.  When this task is completed, the database will contain dates for more than 6,000 U.S. municipalities.
Rates:
25¢ per municipality in multiple states (600 municipalities or more).
50¢ per municipality in one or more states (51-599 municipalities).
$1 per municipality in one or more states (minimum of 10 and up to 50 municipalities).

This format includes the following data elements for each municipality you request:
Municipality name.
State in which it is located.
County (or counties) in which it is located (when applicable).
Present style (e.g. city, consolidated city, independent city, town, township, village, or borough).
2000 Census population.
Date of earliest self-government (e.g. 1st incorporation, self-governing, 1st town meeting) in either or both of two date formats.
Date type (e.g. 1st incorporation, self-governing, consolidation, merger).

Additionally, you may request any number of the following data elements, if you order the Microsoft Access™ format:
Whether the municipality is a county seat and/or state capital.
The event that happened on the above date (e.g. was passed, approved, in force or effective).
Style when 1st incorporated or when it became self-governing and if it was under a different name or in a different county.
Source documentation of the date of earliest self-government or incorporation (e.g. legislative act, book, state repository).
Former name(s), when applicable; this field may also include the date of change to the present name.
Other municipal/political entities with the same name (e.g. townships), when applicable.
Date of earliest incorporation as a town, township, village, or borough (missing or not applicable in some cases).
Date of incorporation as a city (missing or not applicable in numerous cases).

For Non-Astrology Customers, municipalities data in CitiesDatabank™ are also available in Microsoft Excel™ format.
The disadvantage to ordering cities in spreadsheet format is that source documentation for the date of earliest self-government for each municipality is not included and some data elements in the repository database are not available in this format.  Examples of parameters you could use to select municipalities from the database include but are not limited to:  municipalities in a particular state; municipalities in specific counties of a particular state; municipalities above or below a certain population threshold or within a range (using the 2000 Census data); municipalities in a particular Census Bureau region, or municipalities that became self-governing prior to or after a specific date.  At the present time, there are more than 3,800 municipalities from 48 states in the Microsoft Access™ repository database but Gary is still in the process of entering all of the municipalities for which he has the date of earliest self-government.  When this task is completed, the database will contain dates for more than 6,000 U.S. municipalities.
