2 UNITED StATES BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

The President of the United States: 

Sir : The United States Board on Geographic l^ames, constituted 
under the executive order of September 4, 1890, has the honor to sub- 
mit to you herewith its first report : 

ORIGIN AND HISTORY. 

The necessity for a Board for inducing uniform usage and spelling of 
geographic names in the publications of the Government has long been 
apparent. 

There are several bureaus and departments engaged in the construc- 
tion of maps and charts, and the publication and dissemination of 
geographic information. Prominent among them are the Coast and 
GecSetic Survey, which is making charts of the coasts of the United 
States, the Hydrographic Office of the Navy Department, from which 
emanate charts of foreign coasts, the Geological Survey, which is mak- 
ing a mother map of the United States, the General Land Office^ which 
compiles from its plats maps of most of the States and Territories, the 
Post-Office Department, which decides the names of all post-offices, 
etc. Besides these there is scarcely a bureau of the General Govern- 
ment which does not have occasion in its reports and other papers to 
use geographic names, to a greater or less extent. 

It is Well known that there have existed among these bureaus diflfer- 
ences of usage concerning geographic names. Indeed, even among 
different pubUcations of the same bureau, usage has not been uniform. 
It has frequently oc<5urred that the same bureau has used different 
forms at different times and in different jmblications. In the winter of 
1889 and 1890 this matter became a subject of confjprence among a few 
of those most deeply interested, and it was decided to attempt the 
removal of a serious and growing evil in the publications of the Gov- 
ernment. With this i)urpose in view, a voluntary association of repre- 
sentatives of some of the bureaus interested was formed early in the 
spring for the purpose of considering and deciding upon the projier 
names or the spelling to be adopted in such cases as should be brought 
before it, and thus gradually to bring about miiformity in the publica-^ 
tions of the bureaus represented in respect to geographic names. 

There were represented in this association the Coast and Geodetic 
Survey, the Hydrographic Office, the Geological Survey, the Light- 
House Board, the Smithsonian Institution, the Departments of State 
and War, and the Post-Office Department. 

After several meetings, in which much was done in the way of de- 
termining methods of procedure and adopting general principles for 
guidance, as well as the consideration and decision of more than a hun- 
dred cases, it was recognized that the importance of the work of the 
association and the difficulties of an administrative character which 
might be anticipated, required that its organization should be strength- 
ened. iTnder these circumstances executive authority could alone se- 
cure adoption in all Government publications of the decisions of the 
association. The matter was therefore brought to your attention and 
the association was clothed with the necessary authority by the following 

EXECUTIVE ORDER. 

As ifc is desirable that uniform usaffe in regard to geographic nomenclature and 
orthography obtain throughout the Executive Departments of the Government, and 
particularly upon the maps and charts issued bv the various Departments and bu- 
reaus, I hereby constitute a Board on Geographic NameSj^ aad designate the following

persons, who have heretofore cooperated for a similar purpose under the authority 
of the several Departments, bureaus, and institutions with which they are connectea, 
as members of said Board : 

Prof, Thomas C. Mendenhall^ U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, chairman. 

Andrew H. Allen, Department of State. 

Capt. Henry L. Howison, Light-House Board, Treasury Department.

Otis T. MasoU; Smithsonian Institution. 

Herbert G. Ogden, U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. 

Henry Gannett, U. S. Geological Survey. 

Marcus Baker, U. S. Geological Survey. 

To this Board shall be referred all unsettled questions concerning geographic names 
which arise in the Departments, and the decisions of the Board are to be accepted by 
these Departments as the standard authority in such matters. 

Department officers are instructed to afford such assistance as may bo proper to 
carry on the work of this Board. 

The members of this Board shall serve without additional compensation, and its 
organization shall entail no .expense on the Government. 

Benjamin Harrison. 

ExBCCTiVE Mansion, S^tember 4, 1890. 

Under this authority the Board has held seventeen meetings. It has 
adopted a code of by-laws for regulating the transaction of business, 
has agreed upon certain general principles for guiding its decisions, 
and has decided about 2,000 cases. 

The by-laws under which its proceedings have been carried on iire as 
follows: 

BY-lJk.WS. 

I. — Naine, 
This organization shaU be caUed ''The United States Board on Gco|^aphic Names." 

II. — Officers of the Board, 

The officers shall consist of a chairman, a secretary (who snail be elected by ballot), 
and an executive committee of throe to be appointed by the chair with the concur- 
rence of the Board, all of whom shall serve for one year or until their successors shall 
be chosen. 

III. — Duties of officers. 

(a) The chairman shaU preside at the meetings and shall certify to the decisions 
of the Board. He shall apj^oiut all committees not specially named by the Board. 
He shall have power to designate a member of the Board to act for him during his 
temporary absence. 

(6) The secretary shall record the proceedings of the Board and shall keep a record 
that will show the decisions rendered, or other action of the Board upon cases sub- 
mitted to it; with reference to the papers filed in each case. He shall maintain hies 
of the original papers, or copies of them, that may be presented in each case, con- 
veniently arranged for reference. He shall conduct the general correspoudenoe and 
shall receive communications presented for the consideration of the Board, trans- 
mitting them to the executive committee as their character may require or as may 
be hereafter provided. 

(c) The executive committee shall receive through the Secretary all communica- 
tions requiring decision by the Board, shall investigate the questions presented, se- 
curing information from all available sources, and shall report upon them to the Boards 
submitting recommendations regarding them. 

IV. — Meetings. 

The Board shall hold regular meetings on the first Tuesday in each month, excent- 
ing the months of July, August, and September. Special meetings may be called oy 
the chairman or by the executive committee. A majority of the Board shall consti- 
tute a quorum. The affirmative vote of a majority of all the members of the Board 
shaU be required in the final decision in any case. All motions presented for the 
consideration of the Board shall be submitted in writing. 



4 UNITED STATES BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

V. — AmendmenU. 

These by-laws may be amended at any regular or special meeting, by a majority 
▼ot& of all the members of the Board, provided that the proposed amendment hati been 
presented at least four weeks previous to the time the vote is taken. 

Washington, D. C, adopted November 4, 1890. 

Under these by-laws the Board was organized with Prof. T. 0. Men- 
denhall as chairman, as provided for in the Executive order, the elec- 
tion of Lieut. Commander Richardson Clover as secretary, and the ap- 
pointment of Messrs. Henry Gannett, Richardson Clover, and H. G. 
Ogden as executive committee. 

WORK DONE. 

The necessity of this Board has alreiuly been amply demonstrated. 
During this, its first ycivr, there have been submitted to it more than 
2,000 questions and decisions have been rendered in nearly all of these^ 
cases. Shortly after it w^as organized it was called upon to render d^ 
cisions concerning several hundred names in Alaska, where the utmost 
conftision exists regarding geographic names. In this region the diffi- 
culties of transliteration of Russian and Indian names into English 
chai*acters are complicated by the fa(*.t that expedition after expedition 
visiting this region has assigned different sets of names to it« geo- 
graphic features. The difficulties encountered in settling the questions 
submitted relative to Alaskan names made it apparent that nothing 
short of a complete revision of the geographic nomenclature of Alaska 
would be satisfactory. Acjcordiugly the Board, having decided the 
cases submitted to it, is now engaged in making such a revision, the 
result of which will be to furnish a geographic dictionary of the Ter- 
ritory. 

The Lighthouse Board and the Coast and Geodetic Survey have sub- 
mitted to this Board all cases occurring in the light lists cx)ncerning 
which there is a difference in usage or opportunity for improvement. 
These questions have been discussed and decided, and the decisions go 
far toward settling the nomenclature of the coast and lake shores. 

The Census Offiiie has submitted to the Board all cases of difference 
of usage in county and township names, and the names of ex)rporate 
to>vns, cities, etc., and all these questions, numbering fully 1,000, have 
been decided after suitable investigation. In connection with this 
work the Board has made certain minor, but widespretui changes in 
nomenclature, which are expressed in principles 5 to 10, inclusive. (See 
page 8.) As a part of this work the Board has, after examination and 
the decision of all disputed cases, approved a certain form of spelling 
of the names of the counties of the United States. 

OEiaiN OF AND CHANGES IN NAMES. 

With the exception of the names of political subdivisions, geographic 
names in this country have not, as a rule, been bestowed by any formal 
authority. The names of natural featur(;s, rivers, lakes, mountains, 
capes, etc., and of unchartered bodies of population, have received their 
names originally from explorers, surveyors, and early settlers, and these 
names have been perpetuated by common consent. The names of states, 
counties, and municipalities of all classes, on the other hand, have been 
applied either by legislative enactment or charter, and therefore possess 
some degree of formal authority. 



UNITED STATES BOARD ON GEOGBAPHIO NAMES. 5 

Differences of usage exist to a large extent, not only in the names of 
natural features and unincorporated places, but even in those of otgan- 
izedbodiesof population whose names have been bestowed by formal 
authority. These differences have originated in numerous ways. 

In the unsettled parts of the couuti-y, different exploring expeditions, 
ignoring the work of their predecessors, have given new names to fea- 
tures akeady named. As elsewhere noted, this difficulty has often oc- 
curred in Alaska, which has been visited in recent years by numerous 
expeditions. 

The transliteration of Indian names has everywhere been a firuitful 
source of difference's in spelling, inasmuch as no two persons understand 
alike or render into the same EngUsh characters the obscure sounds of 
Indian names. 

It often happens in the case of the larger geographic features, such 
as extended mountain ranges, rivers, etc., that different names have 
been applied locally in different parts, and these different names have 
become well settled in usage. 
41 - It frequently happens that raUroads adopt names for their stations 
different from those of the towns or villages in which they are situated, 
and thus divide the usage. To a much greater extent, however, than 
the railroads has the Post-OflBce Department confused the nomenclature 
of the smaller towns and villages by attaching names to the post-offices 
not in accordance with those in local usage. Indeed, a list shows that 
there are in this country thousands of cases where the name of the 
post-office does not conform to the local name of the place in which it 
is situated. These differences are very confusing to those using the 
postal service, and it seems desirable to reduce their number as ^ as 
practicable, at the same time recognizing the importance of having but 
one post-office of the same name in each state. 

By far the greater number of differences in usage, however, have 
their origin in carelessness or ignorance on the part of tho^ making 
use of the names. Such errors appearing in print are frequently per- 
X)etuated, especially in popular works, and often supplant the original 
name in usage. 

Originating in these divergencies of spelling, there is distinctly 
traceable a development of geographic nomenclature, which is on the 
whole proceeding in a beneficial direction. Its tendency is towards 
the discarding of objectionable names and the adoption of pleasing 
ones, and towards the simplification and abbreviation of names, par- 
ticularly as shown in the dropping of silent letters. The Board, recog- 
nizing this course of development, deems it to be within its power to 
guide it, and even to forestall it, as far as its future course may be 
foreseen. 

The extent to which geographic names have been modified without 
being radically changed is scarcely appreciated. A large proportion, 
probably a majority of the names of natural features have undergone 
changes in spelling to a greater or less extont since they were first ap- 
plied, while of the names of iwlitical divisions, although established by 
formal act, a considerable proportion have also changed, and such 
changes have, in thousands of cases, become firmly established. There- 
fore the position assumed by some persons, that we should revert to the 
original forms of names, would, if carried out, result in changing the 
names ot a large proportion of our natural and artificial features. 



6 UMTED STATES BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

POLICY OF THE BOARD. 

The Board » agreed that in general the name which is in common 
local nse at present should be s^opted. This is a broad general prin- 
ciple, and summarizes the policy of the Board, with the exception of 
certain classes of cases mentioned below. It covers cases of changes or 
eormptions of names, except where sach changes or corruptions are 
considered to be unworthy of i^erpetuation. 

The difficulties encountered in carrying out this principle are found 
mainly in determining what is local usage, or the prevailing local usage 
where it is divided between different forms. Where the local usage is 
so divided, opportunity is afforded for the selection of the more appro- 
priate and euphonious of the names in use* 

The Board considers it desirable to depart from local usage in certain 
cases in order to effect reforms in nomenclature. Among these de- 
partures approved by the Board are the following: 

(a) The avmdance* so far as seems practicable, of the possessive form 
of names. * ^ 

{Jb) The dropping of the final '^h'" in the tennination '* burgh." 

\c\ The abbreviation of "borough" to "boro." 

(d) The spelling of the word ''center" as here given. 

{€) The discontinuance of the use of hyphens in connecting parts of 
names. 

(/) The omission wherever practicable of the letters *'C. H." (Court 
House) after the names of county seats. 

(g) The simplification of names consisting of more than one word by 
their combination into one word. 

(A) The avoidance of the use of diacritic characters. 

( I ) The dropping of the words " city " and *' town ^ as parts of names. 

All of tjiese changes are warranted by the direction of development. 
The possessive form of names is rapidly disappearing, except in rare 
cases where good reason exists tor its retention. In most cases this is 
effected by dropping the apostrophe and the final '* s." In certain cases, 
however, usage or euphony appears to require the retention of the final 
" s'' when the apostrophe only is dropped. 

Concerning the termination *• burg *" or ** burgh, ^ as Pittsburg, an ex- 
tensive corresiK)ndenee has develoiied the fact that in more than three- 
fourths of the places having this termination the final <* h " is not in local 
nse. The case of the termination "boro'' or *' borough,'' as Attleboro, 
is very similar. The present tendency is strongly toward the substi- 
tution of the abbreviated form. The Board therefore deems it desirable 
and advisable to induce uniformity in this matter in the manner indi- 
cated. 

In the case of the word •* center " as part of a name, as Mansfield Cen- 
ter, Center Rutland, usage appears to be about equally divided between 
center and centre^ and the Board has adopted the first of the above 
forms of the word. 

Hyphens, in connecting parts of names, appear to be useless, while 
they add to the complexity of the spelling. 

The practice of adding the letters **C. H.,'' meaning court-house, to 
the name of a county seat is prevalent, Cv^^pecially in the southern states. 
Frequently the place has two names, one l>eiug its charter name, the 
other the name of the county with ** C, H. '^ api>ended ; thus the county 
seat of Raleigh County, W. Va,, is known as Beckley and as Baleigh 
*' C. H. '• 

The tendency toward simplification is in noway shown more decidedly 



UNITBD STATES BOARD ON OEOORAPHIC NAMES. 7 

than in the combination of the several words forming a name. Thus 
"La Fayette" has become well nigh universally "Lafayette,'' "El Do- 
rado'* has become "Eldorado," etc. The Board approves this tend- 
ency and will farther it as far as possible without forestalling usskge too 
greatly. 

The use of diacritic characters in geographic names, in the United 
States, such as the German umlaut, the Spanish tUde, etc., is rapidly 
disappearing. It would be impossible, even were it desirable, to op- 
I)ose this change. 

The priu^tioe of adding the word city or town, as Boise city, Marshall- 
town, as a part oF the name is a useless complication, growing iu most 
(•ases out of an optimistic^ spirit on the part of the promoters of the 
place. It is often misleading and almost invariably unnecessary. 

Outside of the United States, where the Department of State and 
United States Hydrographic Office are chiefly interested, the work of 
the Board is directed to the harmonization of American usage in geo- 
graphic nomenclature with the usage of the great map-making nations — 
England, Germany, and France. The Department of State, by reason 
of its diplomatic and consular functions, is intimately concerned with 
the present style, change of names, transfers of territorial jurisdiction, 
cession and acquisition of territory by various governments abroad, and 
the projKir forms of the titular political nomenclature of foieign stiites 
and nations. The interest of the Hydrographic Office is involved by 
reason of its publication of charts and sailing directions of all foreign 
waters, to the eifective use of which uniformity of geographic nomen- 
clature is obviously indispensable. The forms of foreign names recom- 
mended for adoption are determined on consultation of established 
usage, the best authorities upon ethnological and political history and 
derivation, and current geographic and political information from au- 
thentic sources. 

Many names in foreign civilized countries present a i)eculiar diffi- 
culty and appear to require that a further exception be made to the 
general principle of following local usage. This lies in the fact that 
many foreign names have been anglicized and the anglicized form, 
often quite different from the local form (meaning by local form that 
in use by the best authorities in the country having jurisdiction), is well 
established in usage in this country. 

It is understood by the Board that our charts of the coasts of foreign 
countries using Koinan characters, made for the use of our Navy and 
merchant marine, generally require the use of the local forms of these 
names ; while, on the other hand, popular usage in this country, espec- 
ially in our atlases and text books, requires the anglicized form. The 
Board practically leaves this matter on the same footing as heretofore, 
permitting the use of local forms of foreign names upon our charts, and 
the anglicized forms upon maps designed for use in this country. It 
hopes, however, that the way may be opened in the near future to the 
adoption throughout of the local forms of these names, and the rejection 
of the angliciz^ forms. In such specific cases as have been brought 
to it^ attention, it has decided uniformly in favor of the local form. 

Most of the nations of Europe, either through national boards or geo- 
graphic societies, are engaged in the regulation of the orthography of 
geographic names. Their attention has been particularly directed 
toward producing uniformity in the transliteration of aboriginal names 
written in characters other than Boman. These nations have practi- 
cally agreed upon a system of transliteration, which, with one or two 
exceptions, has been adopted by thi^s Board, thus coming into practical 
agreement in this matter with the rest of the civilized world.

8 UNITED STATES BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

The matters above discussed have been formulated as principles for 
the ^dance of the Board in deciding specific cases. It must be under- 
stood that these are not designed as rules, but as guiding principles, 
from which the Board reserves liberty to depart whenever, in its judg- 
ment, it deems it advisable to do so. 

PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 

1. That spelling and pronunciation which is sanctioned by local 
usage should in general be adopted. 

2. Where names have been changed or corrupted, and such changes 
or corruptions have become established by local usage, it is not in 
general advisable to attempt to restore the original form. 

3. In cases where what was evidently originally the same word ap- 
pears with various sx)elliugs sanctioned by local usage, when applied to 
different features, these various spellings should be regarded as in eflPect 
different names, and as a rule it is inadvisable to attempt to produce 
uniformity. 

4. Where a choice is offered between two or more names for the same 
place of locality, all sanctioned by local usage, that which is most 
appropriate and euphonious should be adopted. 

6. The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done 
without destroying the euphony of the name, or changing its descrip- 
tive application. 

6. In names ending in "burgh,'' the final "h'' should be dropped. 

7. iN'ames ending in ''borough'' should be abbreviated to '^boro." 

8. The word "center," as a part of a name, should be spelled as above 
and not "centre." 

9. The use of hyphens in connecting parts of names should be dis- 
continued. 

10. The letters "C. H." (Court House) api)ended to the names of 
county seats should be omitted. 

11. In the case of names consisting of more than one word, it is 
desirable to combine them into one word. 

12. It is desirable to avoid the use of diacritic characters. 

13. It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town, as 
parts of names. 

PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 

14. Geographic names in countries that use Eoman characters should 
be render^ in the form adopted by the country having jurisdiction, 
except where there are English equivalents already fix^ by usage. 
In cases where the English equivalent is so different from the local form 
that the identity of the latter with the former might not be recognized, 
both forms may be given. 

15. The spelling of geographic names that require transliteration 
into Eoman characters should represent the principal sounds of the 
word as pronounced in the native tongue, in accordance with the sounds 
of the letters in the following system: 

An approximation only to the true sound is aimed at in this system. 
The vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian and on the continent of 
Europe generally, and the consonants as in English.

In conclusion, the Board respectfally calls your attention to the fiict 
that it has no means provided for printing and circulating its decisions. 
Thus far the bulletins of the Board have been published by various 
bureaus represented. Through the curtesy of the Smithsonian Insti- 



10 UNITE1> STATES BOAED ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

tution, and at its expense, Bulletin No. 1 has been published, and an 
edition of 7,000 copies distributed. The Coast and Geodetic Survey 
has printed its second bulletin with an edition of 7,500 copies, and the 
Light- House Board has through the Treasury Department printed the 
third bulletin, with an edition of 8,000. This method of publication is 
obviously unsatisfactory. It is imx)ortaiit that the decisions of the 
Board be promptly brought to the attention of the officers of the Gov- 
ernment, and this can be done only by their prompt publication and 
wide circulation. Judging from i)ast experience, it appears that 10,(KK) 
copies of each of its bulletins will be required to meet the demands of 
the Government Departments. 

The general public, and especially the newspapers, the educators and 
the educational publishers of the country have manifested great interest 
in the work of the Board. Its decisions have been generally accepted 
by geographers, publishers, and educators, and it seems on all accounts 
desirable that these classes should be informed i^romptly and fully of 
the decisions. To supply them would require an equal number, and 
the Board asks that recommendation be made to Congress that projjer 
provision be made for printing and distributing these bulletins. 

There are submitted herewith, as Appendix A, a list of the decisions 
of the Board, and as Ai>pendix B, a list of the counties of the United 
States, with the spelling as authorized by the Board. 

Respectftilly submitted.

Disappointment, Cape. Washington. 
" On the 6th of July, 1778, Meares, in 
the ship Nooika, arrived off the 
cai>e and found that a 'prodigious 
easterly swell rolled on the shore/ 
and he had soundings in 16 fathoms 
over a hard, sandy bottom. ' After 
we ha<l rounded the promontory, a 
large bay, as we had imagined, 
opened to our view, that bore a 
very promising appearance and 
into which we steered, with every 
encouraging expectation. As we 
steered into the bay the water 
shoaled to 9, 8, and 7 fathoms, 
where breakers were seen right 
ahead, and from the masthead they 
were observed to extend across the 
bay. We therefore hauled out.' 
The name Cape Disappointment 
was given to the promontory. It 
was called Gape Hancock by Gray, 
in 1792. He changed this name to 
Cape Disappointment upon hearing 
that Meares had so named it. 
Cape Disappointment retained by 
Vancouver, by Belcher in 1839, 
and by Ex. Ex. in 1841. Duflot de 
Mofras, 1844, calls it Cape San 
Roque or Disappointment. It was

This mountain has been .locally 
known for many years as Elliott's 
Knob. The desire has been ex- 
pressed to substitute the name of 
Sogers, in honor of Prof. W. B. 
Rogers, formerly the State geolo- 
gist of Virginia, and a pioneer in 
the study of the geology of that 
State. This decision in based on 
the grounds, first, that the name 
Elliott Knob is well established; 
and, second, that a mountain peak 
in Virginia near the North Caro- 
liua line has already been named 
in honor of Prof. Rogers.

the British official usage, and is the pop-

the railroad company's prineipal share- 
holders, and afterwards president of the 
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The 
official name given the city by the Co- 
lombian Government is Colon, the Span- 
ish form of the patronymic of Christo- 
pher Columbus. Designated as Aspin- 
wall by the United States Government 
from the year of its foundation until X882. 
The Colombian name was adopted in the 
latter year and has since appeared in the 
printed diplomatic and consular list of 
the Department of State as '' Colon (As- 
pinwall),'' "Colon" being recognised 
as the proper form, and "Aspinwall" 
added in parentheses merely for the 
purpose of distinguishing the placeTfor 
the guidance of persons unfamiliar with 
the Colombian name.

Haiti- was the natiye name of the is- 
land when Columbus landed on De- 
cember 6, 1492, and called it Espag- 
nola, which was latinized into His- 
paniola. The French colony which 
gained control of a part of the is- 
land was called Saint Domingne, 
and in 1795, when France acquired 
the title to the entire' island by 
treaty with Spain, it was called 
N Saint Domingue, but when the 
French were driven out, and ii^de- 
pendenoe declared in 1804, the ab- 
original name Haiti was revived by 
the negroes. Shortly after this the 
Spaniards reestablished themselves 
in the eastern part of the island, re- 
taining the French name modified 
to Santo Domingo, but in 1821 lost 
control, and from 1822 to 1843 the 
whole island was under one gov- 
ernment as the Republic of Haiti. 
In 1844 the eastern portion of the is- 
land again asserted its independ- 
ence of Haiti and established the 
• Dominican Bepublic, which re- 
mains to the present day. 
Thus to-day the island of Haiti, which 
seems to be the proper name, con- 
sists of two countries, Haiti on the 
west end and Santo Domingo on the 
east end, the dividing line being 
drawn from the river Pedemales on 
the south to the river Massacre on 
^the north coast.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 



The House of Representatives, on February 26, 1900, ordered that 
this Second Report of the United States Board on Geographic Names 
be printed. Accordingly, it was printed and issued in May, 1900, as 
House of Representatives Document No. 472, Fifty-sixth Congress, 
first session. The edition was "the usual number," viz, 1,850 copies. 
At the same time the Government Printing Office stereotyped the 
plates and printed and bound a few copies for its own use. On April 
30, 1900, the Senate passed a concurrent resolution directing the 
printing and binding of 8,000 additional copies of this report. About 
ten months later, viz, on February 25, 1901, the House of Represent- 
atives concurred, and thus the printing of 8,000 copies was ordered. 

This book is printed under that authority, and differs very slightly 
from the original Congressional edition of May, 1900. Advantage 
has been taken of the opportunity to incorporate in this second edition 
of March, 1901, corrections of such errors as have been discovered in 
the original edition of May, 1900. These corrections are for the most 
part trifling, and affect the spelling of but three names, viz: Chau- 
tauqua, Merrimack, and Nez Perce.

SECOND REPORT 



OP THE 



UNITED STATES BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 



ORIQIN AND HISTORY OF THE BOARD. 

The United States Board on Geographic Names was created by an 
Executive order issued by President Harrison September 4, 1890. 
Prior to that date there was an unofficial organization, composed of 
ten persons, all employed in the public service, all engaged in geo- 
graphic work, and all keenly sensitive to the confusion and contradic- 
tions in geographic names as used in Government publications. The 
first step, beyond informal conference, toward the fonnation of the 
Board is recorded in the following letter: 

U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Office, 

Washington, D. C, January 8j 1890, 

Dear Sir: All who have been engaged at any time in the preparation of maps, 
charts, gazetteers,* or any other documents of a geographical character must have 
observed the numerous instances of variation in orthography in geographical names. 
This gives rise frequently to much inconsistency, not only as to Government publica- 
tions in general, but in individual instances, it not being uncommon to find the same 
name spelled in more than one way upon maps or charts issued by the same bureau 
or even upon a single chart or map. The Coast and Geodetic Survey has suffered 
much annoyance from this variety in orthography which appears in Government 
publications, not being always able to determine to its own satisfaction which is cor- 
rect Feeling that other departments of the Government must have experienced 
similar difficulty in deciding questions of this kind, it has seemed to me wise to sug- 
gest the organization of a board made up of representatives from the different Gov- 
ernment services interested, to which may be referred any disputed question of 
geographical orthography, and the decisions of which shall be finally accepted by all 
interested therein. I have therefore ventured to take the initiative in this matter by 
sending letters similar to this to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, 
the Commissioner of the General Land Office, the Hydrographer of the Navy, the 
Postmaster-General, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, the chairman of 
the Light-House Board, the president of the National Geographic Society, and the 
Chief of Engineers, United States Army. 

I would be pleased to have your opinion as to the advisability of such a course, and 
if your judgment is favorable to the formation of such a board as that suggested I 
will be glad to co-operate with you and others who are similarly inclined in its 
organization. 

Yours respectfully, T. C. Mendenhall, 

Superintendent. 
11 



12 SECOND BEPOBT OF U. S. BOARD ON GEOOBAPHIO NAMES. 

In response to this letter favorable replies were received from the 
Hydrographic Office in the Navy Department, the Geological Survey 
in the Interior Department, the Corps of Engineers in the War Depart- 
ment, the Light-House Board in the Treasury Department, the 
Smithsonian Institution, and the National Geographic Society. 

On March 18, 1890, the first and organizing meeting was held in the 
office of the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, there 
being present T. C. Mendenhall, Superintendent Coast and Greodetic 
Survey; Herbert G. Ogden, assistant. Coast and Geodetic Survey; 
Lieut. Richardson Clover, U. S. N., hydrographer. Navy Department; 
Capt. Thomas Turtle, Corps of Engineers, War Department; Henry 
Gannett, Geological Survey; Capt. Henry L. Howison, U. S. N., 
Light-House Board, and Prof. Otis T. Mason, Smithsonian Institution. 

Mr. Mendenhall called the meeting to order, stated its objects, and 
withdrew, whereupon he was unanimously invited to return and serve 
as a member of the Board. He accepted, returned, and was chosen 
chairman, and Mr. Clover secretary. To this body of seven, three 
other persons were soon added, viz, Andrew H. Allen, of the State 
Department; Pierson H. Bristow, of the Post-Office Department, and 
Marcus Baker, of the National Geographic Society. 

Subsequent meetings were held April 28. May 6, and June 3, at 
which the scope of work to be done, the methods to be employed, 
principles to be adopted, and the character of organization were con- 
sidered and agreed upon. It was soon apparent that progress in secur- 
ing the reforms aimed at could be hastened by making the Board an 
official one. Accordingly the matter was brought to the attention of 
President Harrison, who, on September 4, 1890, issued the Executive 
order printed on page 6. 

Under that order the volunteer or departmental board met at the 
Navy Department October 7, 1890, and formally organized as the 
present United States Board on Geographic Names. The original 
membership is set forth in the Executive order. 

In the early history of the Board much time was given to discussing 
principles and modes of procedure. In some instances an entire meet- 
ing was given over to discussion, not a single decision resulting. 
Gradually, however, progress was made in establishing principles and 
methods of procedure. At present these are well established and the 
decisions promptly reached after the necessary facts touching the 
names considered have been gathered and tabulated. 

Originally the Board was composed of ten members. Its present 
membership is twelve, of whom five were original membera. The mem- 
bership, past and present, together with departments, bureaus, offices, 
and institutions represented, is set forth in the following table:

The officers of the Board are a chairman, a secretary, and an execu- 
tive committee of three. Mr. T. C. Mendenhall served as chainnan 
from the creation of the Board, in 1890, till his departure from Wash- 
ington, in June, 1894, since which time Mr. Gannett has served con- 
tinuously as chairman. Mr. Clover served as secretary from the 
beginning till October 6, 1891, and Mr. Baker has served from that 
date to the present. The present executive committee is Messrs. 
Allen, Baker, and Ogden. 

The Board holds monthly meetings from October to June, both 
inclusive. It has held 80 meetings, the first on March 18, 1890, the 
last (at date of this writing) on April 4, 1900. Of these meetings 
four were held prior to the Executive order constituting the official 
Board. It has decided 4,157 cases. It has also, after an examination 
of the disputed cases, approved a certain form of spelling for the 
names of the counties of the United States, numbering 2803. It has 
published and distributed a first report, three buUetins, and several 
leaflets and pamphlets containing decisions. All of the decisions con- 
tained in all of these publications are here reprinted, with the addition 
of new decisions, and with revision and correction of such omissions 
and errors as have been detected. 

In connection with the work of the Eleventh Census several hun- 
dred names of minor civil divisions were brought to the Board for 



14 SECOND REPORT OF U. 8. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

decision. Correspondence was had usually with the county clerk and 
the cases decided. Similarly, the Light-House Board and Coast Sur- 
vey brought to the Board several hundred names of features and lights 
along our coasts, lakes, and rivers. All the eases thus submitted have 
been decided and a corresponding advance made in removing conf usioD 
in nomenclature. 

Shortly after the organization of the Board it was called upon to 
decide several hundred cases of disputed names in Alaska, where the 
nomenclature derived from native, Russian, Spanish, and English 
sources was, as it still to some extent is, in great confusion. The 
cases submitted were decided. It was seen, however, that nothing 
short of a complete revision of all the names would satisfactorily 
remove the existing confusion. The Board undertook to do this. 
About 5,000 names were entered on cards, along with citations of 
places where published. The work has not, however, been carried on 
to completion. All members of the Board were so fully occupied with 
other duties that neither time nor energy remained for this work. 
Arrangements have, however, recently been made, through the cour- 
tesy of the Director of the Geological Survey, by which the secretary 
of the Board may again take up this neglected work. 

ORIGIN OF AND CHANGES IN GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

With the exception of the names of political subdivisions, geographic 
names in this country have not, as a rule, been bestowed by any formal 
authority. The names of natural features, rivers, lakes, mountains, 
capes, etc., and of unchartered bodies of population have received 
their names originally from explorers, surveyors, and early settlers, 
and these names have been peipetuated by common consent. The 
names of States, counties, and municipalities of all classes, on the 
other hand, have been applied either by legislative enactment or char- 
ter, and therefore possess some degree of formal authority. 

Diflferences of usage exist to a large extent not only in the names 
of natural features and unincorporated places, but even in those of 
organized bodies of population whose names have been bestowed by 
formal authority. These differences have originated in numerous 
ways. 

In the unsettled parts of the country different exploring expeditions, 
ignoring the work of their predecessors, have given new names to 
features already named. As elsewhere noted, this difficulty has often 
occurred in Alaska, which has been visited in recent years by numer- 
ous expeditions. 

The transliteration of Indian names has everywhere been a fruitful 
source of differences in spelling, inasmuch as no two persons under- 
stand alike or render into the same English characters the obscure 
sounds of Indian names. 



POLICY OF THE BOARD. 15 

It often happens in the case of the larger geographic features, such 
as extended mountain ranges, rivers, etc., that different names have 
been applied locally in different parts and these different names have 
become well settled in usage. 

It frequently happens that railroads adopt names for their stations 
different from those of the towns or villages in which they are situ- 
ated and thus divide usage. To a much greater extent, however, than 
the railroads has the Post-Office Department confused the nomencla- 
ture of the smaller towns and villages by attaching names to the post- 
offices not in accordance with those in local usage. Indeed, an exam- 
ination shows that there are in this country thousands of cases where 
the name of the post-office does not conform to the local name of the 
place in which it is situated. These differences are very confusing to 
those using the postal service, and it seems desirable to reduce their 
number as far as practicable, at the same time recognizing the neces- 
sity of having but one post-office of the same name in each State. 

By far the greater number of differences in usage, however, have 
their origin in carelessness or ignorance on the part of those making 
use of the names. Such errors appearing in print are f requentl}' per- 
petuated, especially in popular works, and often supplant the original 
name in usage. 

Originating in these divergencies of spelling there is distinctly trace- 
able a development of geographic nomenclature which is on the whole 
proceeding in a beneficial direction. Its tendency is toward the dis- 
carding of objectionable names and the adoption of pleasing ones, and 
toward the simplification and abbreviation of names, particularly as 
shown in the dropping of silent letters. The Board, recognizing this 
course of development, deems it to be within its power to guide it, 
and even to forestall it, as far as its future course may be foreseen. 

The extent to which geographic names have been modified without 
being radically changed is scarcely appreciated. A large proportion, 
probably a majority, of the names of natural features have undergone 
changes in spelling to a greater or less extent since they were first 
applied, while of the names of political divisions, although established 
by formal act, a considerable proportion have also changed, and such 
changes have, in thousands of cases, become firmly established. There- 
fore the position assumed by some persons, that we should revert to 
the original forms of names, would, if carried out, result in changing 
the names of a large proportion of our natural and artificial features. 

POLICr OF THE BOARD. 

The Board is agreed that in general the name which is in common 
local use at present should be adopted. This is a broad, general princi- 
ple, and summarizes the policy of the Board, with the exception of 
certain classes of cases mentioned below. It covers cases of changes 



16 SECOND REPORT OF U. 8. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAM£S. 

or corruptions of names, except where such changes or corruptions 
are considered to be unworthy of perpetuation. 

The Board clearly recognizes that the importance and value of its 
decisions depend upon their general adoption. To change corrupted 
forms back to pure forms, after the corrupted form has been estab- 
lished, is to make a decision which will not be followed. Such deci- 
sions are not merely useless; they are positively harmful. They tend 
not to settle but to unsettle usage. To restore such names as Port 
Townsend to Port Townshend, Pysht to Psyche, Ozan to Aux anesi 
Low Freight to L'eau frais, Sitka to Shitka, Possum to Opossum, is 
not always possible, however desirable. The aim, therefore, of the 
Board is to discover and support by its decisions the forms in use in 
all cases, except those where specific and positive objections thereto 
are found to exist. That it should always succeed in this aim is obvi- 
ously impossible. Changes are constantly occurring. The Board can 
not if it would, and would not if it could, oppose change. 

The difficulties encountered in caiTying out this principle of local 
usage are found mainly in determining what is local usage, or the pre- 
vailing local usage where it is divided between different forms. Where 
the local usage is so divided, opportunity is afforded for the selection 
of the more appropriate and euphonious of the names in use. 

The Board considers it desirable to depart from local usage in certain 
cases in order to effect reforms in nomenclature. Among these depar- 
tures approved by the Board are the following: 

(a) The avoidance, so far as seems practicable, of the possessive form 
of names. 

(h) The dropping of the final '^h" in the termination ''burgh." 

(c) The abbreviation of "borough "to "boro." 

(d) The spelling of the word "center" as here given. 

(e) The discontinuance of the use of hyphens in connecting parts of 
names. 

(y) The omission wherever practicable of the letters " C. H." (Court- 
House) after the names of county seats. 

{(/) The simplification of names consisting of more than one word by 
their combination into one word. 

(A) The avoidance of the use of diacritic characters. 

{{) The dropping of the words "city " and " town " as parts of name^s. 

All of these changes are warranted by the direction of development. 
The possessive form of names is rapidly disappearing, except in rare 
cases where good reason exists for its retention. In most cases this 
is effected by dropping the apostrophe and the final "s." In cei*tain 
cases, however, usage or euphony appears to require the retention of 
the final " s," when the apostrophe only is dropped. 

Concerning the teraiination "burg" or "burgh," as Pittsburg, an 
extensive correspondence has developed the fact that in more than 



POLICY OF THE BOARD. l7 

three-fourths of the places having this termination the final ' ' h " is 
not in local use. The case of the termination "boro" or "borough," 
as Attleboro, is very similar. The present tendency is strongly 
toward the substitution of the abbreviated form. The Board there- 
fore deems it desirable and advisable to induce uniformity in this 
matter in the manner indicated. 

In the case of the word "center" as part of a name, as Mansfield 
Center, Center Rutland, usage appears to be about equally divided 
between center and centre, and the Board has adopted the first of the 
above forms of the word. 

Hyphens in connecting parts of names appear to be useless, while 
they add to the complexity of the spelling. 

The practice of adding the letters "C. H.," meaning courthouse, 
to the name of a county seat is prevalent, especially in the Southern 
States. Frequently the place has two names, one being its charter 
name, the other the name of the county with "C. H." appended; thus 
the county seat of Baleigh County, W. Va., is known as Beckley and 
as Raleigh C. H. 

The tendency toward simplification is in no way shown more decid- 
edly than in the combination of the several words forming a name. 
Thus "La Fayette" has become well nigh universally "Lafayette," 
"El Dorado" has become "Eldorado," etc. The Board approves this 
tendency and will further it as far as possible without forestalling 
usage too greatly. 

The use of diacritic characters in geographic names in the United 
States, such as the German umlaut, the Spanish tilde, etc., is rapidly 
disappearing. It would be impossible, even were it desirable, to oppose 
this change. 

The practice of adding the word "city" or "town," as Boise City, 
Drummondtown, as a part of the name is a useless complication, 
growing in most cases out of an optimistic spirit on the part of the 
promoters of the place. It is often misleading and almost invariably 
unnecessary. 

There are in Alaska a good many names of Russian origin ending in 
OBb, which terminating syllable has been variously rendered of^ off^ 
ow^ and ov. The Board uniformly uses of. Examples: Baranof , Chich- 
agof , Popof, Shelikof , etc. 

Outside of the United States, where the Department of State and 
United States Hydrographic Office arc chiefly interested^ the work of 
the Board is directed to the harmonization of American usage in geo- 
graphic nomenclature with the usage of the great map-making nations — 
England, Germany, and France. The Department of State, by reason 
of its diplomatic and consular functions, is intimately concerned with 
the present style, change of names, transfers of territorial jurisdiction, 
cession and acquisition of territory by various governments abroad,

18 SECOND REPORT OF U. S. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

and the proper forms of the titular political nomenclature of foreign 
states and nations. The interest of the Hydrographic OflSce is involved 
by reason of its publication of charts and sailing directions of all 
foreign waters, to the effective use of which uniformity of geographic 
nomenclature is obviously indispensable. The forms of foreign names 
recommended for adoption are determined on consultation of estab- 
lished usage, the best authorities upon ethnological and political his- 
tory and derivation, and current geographic and political information 
from authentic sources. 

Many names in foreign civilized countries present a peculiar diffi- 
culty and appear to require that a further exception be made to the 
general principle of following local usage. This lies in the fact that 
many foreign names have been anglicized, and the anglicized form, 
often quite different from the local form (meaning by local form that 
in use by the best authorities in the country having jurisdiction), is 
well established in usage in this country. 

Such cases wherein English speaking nations use names diflfering 
from those locall}'^ accepted are not numerous, but they are among 
those most in use and represent the most prominent features of the 
earth; for instance, we call Deutschland Germany, Espana Spain, 
Livorno Leghorn. In many cases we translate the foreign name, if it 
is capable of translation, into English words. Other countries in turn 
treat the names of this country in a similar manner. Indeed, most non- 
English speaking people translate the name of this country into their 
own tongue, forgetting that geographic names, like personal names, 
should not be translated. 

It is unquestionably desirable and proper that local usage should be 
followed in these cases as well as in others, i. e., that the home names 
should be the ones universally used; but in most of these cases it is 
obviously impracticable to introduce this reform, at least at present. 
The people of the United States can not be induced to change from 
Germany to Deutschland, or even from Italy to Italia, or The Hague to 
's Gravenhage. It is a reform, however, to which we may look forward 
and work toward and which may be attained in the future. 

It is understood b}'^ the Board that our charts of the coasts of foreign 
countries using Roman characters, made for the use of our Navy and 
merchant marine, generally require the use of the local forms of these 
names, while on the other hand popular usage in this country, espe- 
cially in our atlases and text-books, requires the anglicized form. 
The Board practically leaves this matter on the same footing as here- 
tofore, approving the use of local forms of foreign names upon our 
charts and the anglicized forms upon maps designed for use in this 
country. It hopes, however, that the way may be opened in the near 
future to the adoption throughout of the local forms of these names and 
the rejection of the anglicized forms. In such specific cases as have 



SCOPE OF IT8 FUNCTIONS. 19 

been brought to its attention it has decided uniformly in favor of the 
local form. 

Most of the nations of Europe, either through national boards or 
geographic societies, are engaged in the regulation of the orthography 
of geographic names. Their attention has been particularly directed 
toward producing uniformity in the transliteration of aboriginal names 
written in characters other than Roman. These nations have prac- 
tically agreed upon a system of transliteration, which, with one or two 
exceptions, has been adopted by this Board, thus coming into practical 
agreement in this matter with the rest of the civilized world. 

SCOPE OF ITS FUNCTIONS. 

From the wording of the Executive order creating the fk)ard it 
understands and has uniformly maintained that its function is limited 
to the consideration of names as to which there is diverse usage. It 
does not give names to features, though frequently called upon to do 
so. It does not change names, even though in cases submitted there 
often appears good reason for making change. It does not, though 
frequently appealed to, deal with the question of pronunciation. It 
does not determine the generic character of the feature whose name is 
in dispute. It does not determine whether a stream is a creek or river; 
whether a body of water is a lake or a pond; whether an elevated tract 
is a hill or a mountain. It does not undertake the wholesale revision 
of the geographic names of any region or district and prepare a stand- 
ard list of such names, though the need for such is obvious and is from 
time to time pressed upon the attention of the Board. 

The Board does not attempt wholesale reformation of corrupted 
names or seek to restore original forms or pure forms, nor does it 
attach much importance to priority. It would be idle to attempt to 
now introduce New Amsterdam for New York, Lake Frontcnac for 
Lake Ontario, Cat Lake for Lake Erie, Ouisconsin for Wisconsin, 
Ojibway for Chippewa, Konza for Kansas, or Ke-kan-ma-suk-sepe for 
Kalamazoo. Whatever diverse usage may be found in print, what- 
ever departures from or corruptions of old forms are involved in such 
names, any attempt to restore first forms would not contribute to 
establishing uniform usage. These old names are of interest to the 
antiquarian and scholar, but a stumbling block in the path of the man 
of affairs who wants to know the name now and how it should be 
spelled. As a rule, names are dealt with individually. If it appears 
that present usage is fairly consistent or established as to any name, 
that usage is, in general, adopted. 

All the foregoing are things which the Board does 7wt do. What 
it actually does is to consider, one by one, names brought to its atten- 
tion as disputed. This dispute or discrepant use may exist in print or 
in speech, or in both. The Board, collecting all the facts deemed perti-

nent in each case, sifts them, weighs them, and decides what the name 
is and how the Executive Departments are to spell it. Its decisions 
are the "standard authority" for these departments. If they are fol- 
lowed by the newspapers, the schools, the publishers, dictionary 
makers, and private map makers, a long step has been taken toward 
securing the uniformity so much to be desired. 

There are three counties in the United States bearing the Indian 
name Pottawatomie, one each in Kansas and Oklahoma written Pot- 
tawatomie, and one in Iowa spelled Pottawattamie. The Board deems 
it desirable that the spelling of these names should be uniform, but it 
finds here " no unsettled question concerning geographic names" to be 
considered. 

Similarly, five counties, a large city, a river, a mountain range, and 
various minor features bear the name Allegany. The word Ls spelled 
in three ways, each well established and thus not coming within the 
scope of the Board's functions. In New York State and in Maryland 
there is an Allegany Count}'^; in North Carolina and Virginia an Alle- 
ghany County, and in Pennsylvania an Allegheny County. As to 
these respective counties the Board finds no diversity of usage and 
accepts the forms it finds. In the case of the river and mountains it 
finds diverse usage, and for these has adopted the form Allegheny. 

Three counties and ten post-offices in the United State-s bear the 
name Vermilion. The Board in this case spells the name uniformly 
Vermilion, irrespective of local usage, which is in some cases Ver- 
million, deeming the change so trifling and the gain in uniformity so 
great as to warrant this course. 

The dropping of the " h" at the end of the termination *'burg" has 
been uniformly followed by the Board, even where, as in some cases, 
this decision has conflicted with local usage. Thus it writes Lunen- 
burg, Mecklenburg, Orangeburg, Spartanburg, Vanderburg, and 
Williamsburg as the names of counties in Virginia, Indiana, North 
Carolina, and South Carolina. 

Puerto Rico, meaning rich port^ is the Spanish name of one of the 
West India islands acquired by the United States in 1898. In 1891 
the Board adopted this form, conforming to the invariable local usage 
of that time and also to the practice of the countr}'^ having jurisdiction. 
An act of Congress approved April 12, 1900, has established the form 
Porto Rico as the name of the island. 

HOW DECISIONS ABE MADE. 

Cases brought to the Board for decision are at once referred to the 
executive committee for examination and report. This committee 
examines each case, consulting printed authorities, such as mother 
maps, gazetteers, local historians, atlases^ etc. Especially does it seek 
after, and it generally obtains, the local usage, to which it attaches 
great importance. Local usage is usually obtained by correspond. 



PBINCIPLES FOR APPLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 21 



ence with county clerks, postmajsters, etc. This information derived 
from correspondence is often supplemented by the oral testimony of 
persons having personal knowledge of the name under consideration. 
The information needful for deciding may be obtained quickly, within a 
day or two, or it may take months. AVTien the executive committee 
is satisfied, it tabulates the results on library cards. These cards are 
printed blanks whereon places are left for entering various items of 
information. When all the information is tabulated the executive com- 
mittee of three record their preferences, signing their initials. Thus 
there is a record vote of the executive committee. The cards so pre- 
pared are submitted to the Board at its regular monthly meetings, and 
considered one by one. Usually the executive committee agree on 
their recommendations. Not infrequently, however, there is a divided 
report. The CAse being submitted to the Board, a vote is taken and a 
majority, not of those present, but of the whole Board, is necessary to 
decide. The decision so reached is written at the top of the card, which 
is thereupon stamped Approved^ with the date of the approval. Usu- 
ally, from one to several cases, at each meeting, are by the Board sent 
back to the committee for additional investigation. A facsimile of one 
of these cards is printed herewith:

Such is the present practice of the Board, a pi'actice which has 
gradually developed as the outcome of experience. While experience 
has improved practice in the Board's operations, it has contributed 
practically nothing in the way of principles. The principles which 
govern decisions were at the outset considered and formulated with 
great painstaking and care. They were the subjects of many and 
earnest discussions and it is a matter as to which the Board congratu- 
lates itself that these principles so elaborated and adopted have so well 
stood the test of experience. The Board has found no occasion to add 
to or depart from the principles as originally established. 



22 SECOND REPOBT OF U. 8. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 
PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 

It must be understood that these are not designed as rules^ but as 
guiding jpriTiciples^ from which the Board reserves liberty to depart 
whenever, in its judgment, it deems it advisable to do so. 

(1) That spelling and pronunciation which is sanctioned by local 
usage should in general be adopted. 

(2) Where names have been changed or corrupted, and such changes 
or corruptions have become established by local usage, it is not in 
general advisable to attempt to restore the original form. 

(3) In cases where what was evidently originally the same word 
appears with various spellings sanctioned by local usage, when applied 
to different features, these various spellings should be regarded as in 
effect different names, and, as a rule, it is inadvisable to attempt to 
produce uniformity. 

(4) Where a choice is offered between two or more names for the 
same place or locality, all sanctioned by local usage, that which is most 
appropriate and euphonious should be adopted. 

(5) The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done 
without destroying the euphony of the name or changing its descrip- 
tive application. 

(6) In names ending in "burgh" the final "h" should be dropped. 

(7) Names ending in "borough" should be abbreviated to "boro." 

(8) The word "center," as a part of a name, should be spelled as 
above, and not "centre." 

(9) The use of hyphens in connecting parts of names should be 
discontinued. 

(10) The letters "C. H." (Court House) appended to the names of 
county seats should be omitted. 

(11) In the case of names consisting of more than one word it is 
desirable to combine them into one word. 

(12) It is desirable to avoid the use of diacritic characters. 

(13) It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as 
parts of names. 

PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 

(1) Geographic names in countries that use roman characters should 
be rendered in the form adopted by the country having jurisdiction, 
except where there are English equivalents already fixed by usage. 
In cases where the English equivalent is so different from the local 
form that the identity of the latter with the former might not be recog- 
nized, the English form should be adopted, but both forms may be 
given. 

(2) The spelling of geographic names that require transliteration 
into roman chaiucters should represent the principal sounds of the 
word as pronounced in the native tongue, in accordance with the 
sounds of the letters in the following system. 



I^UBLICATIOKS. 23 

An approximation only to the true sound is aimed at in this system. 
The vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian and on the Continent of 
Europe generally, and the consonants as in English: 

a has the sound of a in father. EooampUs: Java, Banana, Somali, Bari. 
e has the sound of e in men. Examples: Tel el Kebir, Medina, Peru, 
i has the sound of i in ravine, or the sound of ee in beet. Examples: Fiji, Hindi. 
o has the sound of o in mote. 

u has the sound of oo in boot. Examples: Umnak, Unga. 
ai has the soimd of i in ice. Example: Shanghai. 
au has the sound of ow in how. Example: Fuchau. 
ao is slightly different from above. Example: Nanao. 

ei has the sound of the two Italian vowels, but is frequently slurre<l over, when 
it is scarcely distinguishable from ey in the English they. Examples: 
Beirut, Beilul. 
c is always soft, and has nearly the sound of s; hard c is given by k. Example: 
Celebes. 
ch is always soft, as in church. Example: Chingchin. 
f as in English; ph should not be used for this sound. Thus, not Haiphong, 

but Haifong. 
^ is always hard (soft g is given by j) . Example: Galapagos. 
h is always pronounced when inserted, 
j as in English; dj should never be put for this sound. Examples^: Japan, 

Jinchuen. 
k as in English. It should always be used for the hard v. Thus, not Corea, 
but Korea, 
kh has the sound of the oriental guttural. Example: Khan. 
gh is another guttural, as in the Turkish: Bagh, Ghazi. 
ng has two slightly different sounds, as in finger, singer. 
q should never be employed; qu is given by kw. Example: Kwangtung. 
b,d,l 
l,m, 

p, 8, 
t,v, 

W, X, 

and 
z 

y is always a consonant, as in yard, and should not be used for the vowel i. 

Thus, not Mikindany, but Mikindani. 
All vowels are shortened in sound by doubling the following consonant. 

Examples: Yarra, Tanna, Jidda, Bonni. 
Doubling a vowel is only necessary where there is a distinct repetition of the 

single sound. Example: Nuulua. 
Accents should not, generally, be used; but where there is a very decided 

emphatic syllable or stress which affects the sound of the word it should 

be marked by an acute accent. Examples: Tongatiibu, Galdpagos, Palawan, 

Sarawak. 

PUBLICATIONS. 

The Board is not directly provided with means for printing or dis- 
tributing its decisions. As a result publication has been desultory and 
unsatisfactory. 



as in English. 



24 SECOND REPORT OF U. S. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

Bulletin No. 1, an octavo pamphlet of 13 pages, issued December 31, 

1890, was published through the courtesy and at the cost of the Smith- 
sonian Institution; edition, 7,000. 

Bulletin No. 2, an octavo pamphlet of 16 pages, issued* May 25, 1891, 
was published through the courtesy of the Coast and Geodetic Survey: 
edition, 7,500. 

Bulletin No. 3, an octavo pamphlet of 14 pages, issued August 1, 

1891, was published through the courtesy of the Light-House Board; 
edition, 8,000. 

The first report of the Board was published early in 1892 under a 
concurrent resolution passed January 25, 1892 (see Congressional 
Record, January 26, 1892, p. 562), as Executive Document No. 16, 
House of Representatives, Fifty -second Congress, first session. It is 
an octavo bound pamphlet of 56 pages. Edition, '*the usual number" 
plus 10,000 extra copies, 1,000 for the use of the Senate, 2,000 for the 
use of the House of Representatives, and 7,000 for distribution by the 
Board '* among the Government Departments, public libraries, and 
other suitable depositories." 

This first report contains all the decisions printed in Bulletins 1, 2, 
and 3, together with some additional ones. 

For some time after the publication of the first report the decisions 
of the Board from month to month were reproduced by the mimeo- 
graph, to the number of about 100, and sent to the Departments 
interested. Later the Treasury Department printed these as single 
leaflets, and later as thin pamphlets, in editions of 1,000. There are 
six such pamphlets containing the decisions: 

January, 1892, to September, 1895, 16 pages. 

October, 1895, to March, 1896, 5 pages. 

October, 1895, to April, 1896, 6 pages. 

October, 1895, to November, 1896, 6 pages. 

January 1, 1892, to December 31, 1896, 22 pages. 

January 1, 1892, to January 1, 1898, 40 pages. 

All these decisions, together with others hitherto unpublished^ are 
contained in the present report. 

CONCLUSION. 

The Board again respectfully calls attention to the fact that it is 
without means for carrying on its work, save by the courtesy of the 
bureaus, oflBces, and institutions represented in its membership. It is 
without direct means for printing or distributing its decisions. It is 
without means for meeting the calls that are made upon it for publica- 
tions, for information, and for decisions. Its progress has, therefore, 
been slow, and might, indeed, have ceased altogether had not the calls 
made upon it — unceasingly made — attested a real need for some such 
agency or institution. To facilitate its work in the future it has 
adopted the resolutions contained in the letter of transmittal on page 5 
of this report.

Note.— On the 6th of July, 1778, Mcarcs, in

that a " prodisrious easterly swell rolled on the 
shore," and he had soundings in 16 fathoms 
over a hard, sandy bottom. "After we had 
rounded the promontory, a large bay, as we 
had Imagined, opened to our view, that bore a 
very promising appearance and into which we 
steered, with every encouiaging expectation. 
As we steered into the bay the water shoaled to 
9, 8, and 7 fathoms, where breakers were seen 
right ahead, and from the masthead they were 
obw>rved to extend across the bay. We there- 
fore hauled out." The name Cape Disappoint- 
ment was given to the promontory. It was 
called Cape Hancock by Gray, in 1792. He 
changed this name to Cape Disappointment 
upon hearing that Meares had so named iu 
Cape Disappointment retained by Vancouver, 
by Belcher in IsaQ, and by Ex. Ex. in ISIL 
Duflot de Mofnws. 1844, calls itC4ipe San Roque 
or Disappointment. It was called Cape Han- 
cock or Disappointment at the first examination 
of the entrance to the river, in ISiW. and the 
name Hanco<>k, subsequently, in a secondary 
manner in the Light-House List, but the name 
Disappointment Is that used on the official 
charts and by all navigalore.--i^aci^ CkMgt

Haiti, island. West Indies. 

Note.— Haiti was the native name of the 
iinland when Columbus landed, on December 6, 
1492, and called it Espagnola, which was lat- 
inized into Hispaniola. The French colony 
which gained control of a part of the island 
was called Saint Doniingue, and in 1795, when 
France acquired title to the entire island by 
treaty with Spain, it was called Saint Domin- 
gue; but when the French were driven out 
and independence declared, in 1804, the aborig- 
inal name Haiti was revived by the negroes. 
Shortly after this the Spaniards reestablished 
themselves in the eastern part of the island, 
retaining the French name modified to Santo 
Domingo, but in LS'il lost ctmtrol, and from 1822 
to 1843 the whole island was under one govern- 
ment as the Republic of Haiti. In 1844 the 
eastern portion of the island again asserted its 
independence of Haiti and established the 
Dominican Republic, which remains to the 
present day. 

Thus to-day tlie island of Haiti, which seems 
to be the proper name, consists of two coun- 
tries, Haiti on the west end and Santo Domingo 
on the cast end, R. c.

THIRD REPORT 



OF THB 



UNITED STATES BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 



ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE BOARD. 

The United States Board on Geographic Names was created by an 
Executive order issued by President Harrison September 4, 1890. 
Prior to that date there was an unofficial organization, composed of 
ten persons, all employed in the public service, all engaged in geo- 
graphic work, and all keenly sensitive to the confusion and contradic- 
tions in geographic names as used in Government publications. 

Originally the Board was composed of ten members. Its present 
membership is thirteen, of whom two were original members. The 
membership, past and present, together with Departments, bureaus, 
offices, and institutions represented, is set forth in the following table:

Mr. T. C. Mendenhall was chairman from the creation of the Board 
in 1890 until his departure from Washington in June, 1894, since 
which time Mr. Gannett has filled this position, except for the period 
from October 1, 1902, to October 14, 1903, when Major Lusk acted 
as chairman. Mr. Clover served as secretary from the beginning 
until October 6, 1891, and Mr. Baker from that date until his death, 
December 12, 1903. Mr. A. H. Allen acted as secretary from Janu- 
ary 6, 1904, to April 6, 1904, when Mr. C. S. Sloane was elected 
secretary. 

The Board has decided 5,133 cases. It has also, after an examina- 
tion of the disputed cases, approved a certain form of spelling for the 
names of the counties of the United States, numbering 2,876. 

Shortly after the organization of the Board it was called upon to 
decide several hundred cases of disputed names in Alaska, where the 
nomenclature derived from native, Russian, Spanish, and English 
sources was, as it still to some extent is, in great confusion. The 
cases submitted were decided. It was seen, however, that nothing 
short of a complete revision of all the names would satisfactorily 
remove the existing confusion. This was made, and issued in 1901 as 
Bulletin 187 of the Geological Survey, entitled "Geographic Diction- 
ary of Alaska," which is now being revised. 

ORIGIN OF AND CHANGES IN GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

With the exception of the names of political subdivisions, geographic 
names in this country have not, as a rule, been bestowed by any formal 
authority. The names of natural features — rivers, lakes, mountains, 
capes, etc. — and of unchartered bodies of population have received 
their names originally from explorers, surveyors, and early settlers, 
and these names have been perpetuated by common consent. The 
names of states, counties, and municipalities of all classes, on the 



B£POBT OF BOABD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 13 

other hand, have been applied either by legislative enactment or char* 
ter, and therefore possess some degree of formal authority. 

Differences of usage exist to a large extent, not only in the names 
of natural features and unincorporated places, but even in those of 
organized bodies of population whose names have been bestowed by 
formal authority. These differences have originated in numerous 
ways. 

In the unsettled parts of the country different exploring expeditions, 
ignoring the work of their predecessors, have given new names to 
features already named. As elsewhere noted this difficulty has often 
occurred in Alaska, which has been visited in recent j'ears by numer- 
ous expeditions. 

The transliteration of Indian names has everywhere been a fruitful 
source of differences in spelling, inasmuch as no two persons under- 
stand alike or render into the same English characters the obscure 
sounds of Indian names. 

It often happens in the case of the larger geographic features, such 
as extended mountain ranges, rivers, etc., that different names have 
been applied locally in various parts and these names have become 
well settled in usager 

It frequently happens that railroads adopt names for their stations 
different from those of the towns or villages in which they are situated 
and thus divide usage. To a much greater extent, however, than the 
railroads has the Post Office Department confused the nomenclature 
of the smaller towns and villages by attaching names to the post offices 
not in accordance with those in local usage. Indeed, an examination 
shows that there are in this country thousands of cases where the name 
of the post office does not conform to the local name of the place in 
which it is situated. These differences are very confusing to those 
using the postal service, and it seems desirable to reduce their number 
so far as practicable, at the same time recognizing the necessity of 
having no post office name duplicated in a state. 

By far the greater number of differences in usage, however, have 
their origin in carelessness or ignorance on the part of those making 
use of the names. Such errors appearing in print are frequently per- 
petuated, especially in popular works, and often supplant the original 
name in usage. 

Originating in these diversities of spelling there is distinctly trace- 
able a development of geographic nomenclature which is, on the whole, 
proceeding in a beneficial direction. Its tendency is toward the dis- 
carding of objectionable names and the adoption of pleasing ones, and 
toward the simplification and abbreviation of names, particularly as 
shown in the dropping of silent letters. The Board, recognizing this 
course of development, deems it to be within its power to guide it 
and even to forestall it, so far as its future course may be foreseen. 



14 BEPOBT OF BOABD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

• 

The extent to which, geographic names have been modified without 
being mdically changed is scarcely appreciated. A large proportion, 
pr(ft)ably a majority, of the names of natural features have undergone 
alterations in spelling to a greater or less extent since they were first 
applied, while of the names of political divisions, although established 
by formal act, a considerable proportion have also changed, and such 
variations have, in thousands of cases, become firmly established. 
Therefore, the position assumed by some persons, that we should revert 
to the original forms of names, would, if carried out, result in changing 
the names of a large proportion of our natural and artificial features. 

POLICY OF THE BOARD. 

The Board is agreed that in general the name which is in common 
local use at present should be adopted. This is a broad, general 
principle, and summarizes the policy of the Board, with the excep- 
tion of certain classes of names. It covers cases of changes or cor- 
ruptions of names, except where thej' are considered to be unworthy 
of perpetuation. 

The Board clearly recognizes that the importance and value of its 
decisions depend upon their general adoption. To change corrupted 
forms back to pure forms, after the corrupted form has been estab- 
lished, is to make a decision which will not be followed. Such deci- 
sions are not merely useless; they are positively harmful. They tend 
not to settle, but to unsettle usage. To restore such names as Port 
Townsend to Port Townshend, Pysht to Psyche, Ozan to Aux anes, 
Low Freight to L'eau frais, Sitka to Shitka, Possum to Opossum, is 
not always possible, however desirable. The aim, therefore, of the 
Board is to discover and support by its decisions the forms in use in 
all cases, except those where specific and positive objections thereto 
are found to exist. That it should always succeed in this aim is obvi- 
ously impossible. Changes are constantly occurring. The Board can 
not if it would, and would not if it could, oppose change. 

The difficulties encountered in carrying out this principle are found 
mainly in determining what is the established usage, or the prevailing 
local practice where it is divided between different forms. Where it 
is so divided, opportunity is afforded for the selection of the more 
appropriate and euphonious of the names in use. 

The Board considers it desirable to depart from local usage in certain 
cases in order to effect reforms in nomenclature. Among these depar- 
tures approved by the Board are the following: 

(a) The avoidance, so far as seems practicable, of the possessive 
form of names. 

(b) The dropping of the final ''h" in the termination "burgh." 

(c) The abbreviation of ''borough" to ''boro." 



BEPOBT OF BOABD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 15 

(d) The spelling of the word "center" as here given. 

(e) The discontinuance of the use of hyphens in connecting parts of 
names. 

{/) The omission, wherever practicable, of the letters "C. H." 
(Court-House) after the names of county seats. 

{(/) The simplification of names consisting of more than one word by 
their combination into one word. 

(h) The avoidance of the use of diacritic characters. 

(i) The dropping of the words ''city " and ' ' town " as parts of names. 

All of these changes are warranted by the direction of development. 
The possessive form of name is rapidly disappearing, except in rare 
cases where good reason exists for its retention. In most cases this 
is effected by dropping the apostrophe and the final "s." In certain 
cases, however, usage or euphony appears to require the retention of 
the final ''s," when the apostrophe only is dropped. 

Concerning the termination "burg" or " burgh," as Pittsburg, an 
extensive correspondence has developed the fact that in more than 
three-fourths of the places having this termination the final "h" is 
not in local use. The case of the termination "boro" or "borough," 
as Attleboro, is very similar. The present tendency is strongly 
toward the substitution of the abbreviated form. The Board, there- 
fore, deems it advisable to induce uniformity in this matter in the 
manner indicated. 

In the case of the word "center'' as part of a name, as Mansfield 
Center, Center Rutland, usage appears to be about equally divided 
between "center" and "centre," and the Board has adopted the first 
of the above forms of the word. 

Hyphens in connecting parts of names appear to be useless, while 
they add to the complexity of the spelling. 

The practice of adding the letters ''C. H.," meaning Court-House, 
to the name of a county seat is prevalent, especially in the Southern 
states. Frequently the place has two names, one being its charter 
name, the other the name of the county with "C. H." appended; thus 
the county seat of Raleigh county, W. Va., is known as Beckley and 
as Raleigh C. H. 

The tendency toward simplification is in no way shown more decid- 
edly than in the combination of the several words forming a name. 
Thus "La Fayette" has become well nigh universally "Lafayette," 
and "El Dorado" has become "Eldomdo." The Board approves this 
tendency and will further it so far as possible without forestalling 
usage too greatly. 

The use of diacritic characters in geographic names in the United 
States, such as the German umlaut and the Spanish tilde, is I'apidly 
disappearing. It would be impossible, even were it desirable, to oppose 
this change. 



16 REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

The practice of adding the word "city" or "town," as Boise City, 
Drummondtown, as a part of the name is a useless complication, 
growing in most cases out of an optimistic spirit on the part of the 
promoters of the place. It is often misleading and almost invariably 
unnecessary. 

There are in Alaska a good many names of Russian origin ending in 
OBb, which terminating syllable has been variously rendered of^ off^ 
ow^ and ov. The Board uniformly uses of. Examples: Baranof, 
Chichagof , Popof , and Shelikof . 

Outside of the United States, where the Department of State and 
United States Hydrographic Office are chiefly interested, the work of 
the Board is directed to the harmonization of American usage in geo- 
graphic nomenclature with the usfige of the great map making nations — 
England, Germany, and France. The Department of State, by reason 
of its diplomatic and consular functions, is intimately concerned with 
the present style, change of names, transfers of territorial jurisdiction, 
cession and acquisition of territory by various governments abroad, 
and the proper forms of the titular political nomenclature of foreign 
states and nations. The interest of the Hydrographic Office is involved 
by reason of its publication of charts and sailing directions of all for- 
eign waters, to the effective use of which uniformity of geographic 
nomenclature is obviously indispensable. The forms of foreign names 
recommended for adoption are determined on consultation of estab- 
lished usage, the best authorities upon ethnological and political his- 
tory and derivation, and current geographic and political information 
from authentic sources. 

Many names in foreign civilized countries present a peculiar diffi- 
culty and appear to require that a further exception be made to the 
general principle of following local usage. This lies in the fact that 
many foreign names have been anglieized, and the anglicized form, 
often quite different from the local form (meaning bj^ local form that 
in use by the best authorities in the country having jurisdiction), is 
well established in usage in this country. 

Such cases wherein English speaking nations use names differing 
from those locally accepted are not numerous, but they are among 
those most in use and represent the most prominent features of the 
earth; for instance, we call Deutschland Germany, Espana Spain, 
Livorno Leghorn. In many cases we translate the foreign name, if it 
is capable of translation, into English words. Other countries, in turn, 
treat the names of this country in a similar manner. Indeed, most 
non-English speaking people translate the name of this country into 
their own tongue, forgetting that geographic names, like personal 
names, should not be translated. 

It is unquestionably desirable and proper that local usage should be 



BEPOBT OF BOABD OK GEOGBAPHIC NAMES. 17 

followed in these cases as well as in others, i. e., that the home names 
should be the ones universally used; but in most of these cases it is 
obviously impracticable to introduce this reform, at least at present. 
The people of the United States can not be induced to change from 
Germany to Deutschland, or even from Italy to Italia, or The Hague to 
's Gravenhage. It is a reform, however, to which we may look for- 
ward and work toward Snd which may be attained in the future. 

It is understood by the Board that our charts of the coasts of foreign 
countries using Roman characters, made for the use of our Navy and 
merchant marine, generally require the use of the local forms of these 
names, while on the^ other hand popular usage in this country, espe- 
cially in our atlases and text-books, requires the anglicized form. 
The Board practically leaves this matter on the same footing as here- 
tofore, approving the use of local spelling of foreign names upon our 
charts and the anglicized forms upon maps designed for use in this 
country. It hopes, however, that the way may be open in the near 
future to the adoption throughout, of the local and the rejection of the 
anglicized forms. In such specific cases as have been brought to its 
attention it has decided uniformly in favor of the local method. 

Most of the nations of Europe, either through national boards or 
geographic societies, are engaged in the regulation of the orthography 
of geographic names. Their attention has been particularly directed 
toward producing uniformity in the transliteration of aboriginal names 
written in characters other than Roman. These nations have prac- 
tically agreed upon a system of transliteration, which, with one or two 
exceptions, has been adopted by this Board, thus coming into practical 
agreement in this matter with the rest of the civilized world. 

SCOPE OP ITS FUNCTIONS. 

From the wording of the Executive order creating the Board it 
has uniformly maintained that its function is limited'to the consider- 
ation of names as to which there is diverse usage. Under the Execu- 
tive order of January 23, 1906, there was added to the duties of the 
Board, the duty of determining, changing, and fixing place names 
within the United States and insular possessions. It does not give 
names to features, though frequently called upon to do so. It does 
not, though frequently appealed to, deal with the question of pro- 
nunciation. It does not determine the generic character of the feature 
whose name is in dispute. It does not determine whether a stream is 
a creek or river; whether a body^of water is a lake or pond; whether 
an elevated tract is a hill or mountain. 

The Board does not attempt wholesale reformation of corrupted 
names nor seek to restore original forms or pure forms, nor does it 
attach much importance to priority. It would be idle to attempt to 

22400—07 ^ 



18 BEPOBT OF BOABD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

now introduce New Amsterdam for New York, LAke Frontenac for 
Lake Ontario, Cat Lake for Lake Erie, Ouisoousin for Wisconsin, 
Ojibway for Chippewa, Konza for Kansas, or Ke-kan-ma-suk-sepe for 
Kalamazoo. Whatever diverse usage may be found in print, what- 
ever departures from or corruptions of old forms are involved in such 
names, any attempt to restore first forms would not contribute to 
establishing uniform usage. These old names are of interest to the 
antiquarian and scholar, but a stumbling block in the path of the man 
of affairs who wants to know the name now and how it should be 
spelled. As a rule, names are dealt with individually. If it appears 
that present practice is fairly consistent or established as to any name, 
that form is, in general, adopted. 

All the foregoing are things which the Board does not do. What 
it actually does is to consider, one by one, names brought to its atten- 
tion as disputed. This dispute or discrepant use may exist in print or 
in speech, or in both. The Board, collecting all the facts deemed perti- 
nent in each case, sifts them, weighs them, and decides what the name 
is and how the Executive Departments are to spell it. Under authority 
of the Executive order of January 23, 1906, the Board will control the 
place names of the country as far as Government usage is concerned. 
It will discard such as are objectionable, replacing them with appro- 
priate names. It will publish and promulgate principles for the 
guidance of explorers and surveyors in the selection of suitable names. 
It will examine and decide upon names proposed for newly -discovered 
and unnamed features, and accept or reject those proposed. Its deci- 
sions are the " standard authority " for these Departments. If they 
are followed by the newspapers, the schools, the publishers, dictionary 
makers, and private map makers, a long step has been taken toward 
securing the uniformity so much to be desired. 

There are three counties in the United States bearing the Indian 
name Pottawatomie, one each in Kansas and Oklahoma written Potta- 
watomie, and one in Iowa spelled Pottawattamie. The Board deems 
it desirable that the spelling of these names should be uniform, but it 
finds here "no unsettled question concerning geographic names" to 
be considered. 

Similarly, five counties, a large city, a river, a mountain range, and 
various minor features bear the name Allegany. The word is spelled 
in three ways, each well established and thus not coming within the 
scope of the Board's functions. New York and Maryland each has 
an Allegany county; North Carolina and Virginia an Alleghany county, 
and Pennsylvania an Allegheny county. As to these respective counties 
the Board finds no diversity of usage and accepts the forms it finds. 
In the case of the river and mountains it finds diverse usage, and for 
these has adopted the form Allegheny. 



REPOBT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 19 

Three counties and ten post offices in the United States bear the 
name Vermilion. The Board in this case spells the name Vermilion, 
irrespective of local usage, which is in some cases Vermillion, deem- 
ing the change so trifling and the gain in uniformity so great as to 
warrant this course. 

The dropping of the "h" at the end of the termination ''burg" has 
been uniformly followed by the Board, even where, as in some cases, 
this decision has conflicted with local usage. Thus it writes Lunen- 
burg, Mecklenburg, Orangeburg, Spartanburg, Vanderburg, and 
Williamsburg as the names of counties in Virginia, Indiana, North 
Carolina, and South Carolina. 

Puerto Rico, meaning rich port^ is the Spanish name of one of the 
West Indies acquired by the United States in 1898. In 1891 the Board 
adopted this form, conforming to the invariable local usage of that 
time and also to the practice of the country having jurisdiction. An 
act of Congress approved April 12, 1900, has established the form 
Porto Rico as the name of the island. 

HOW DECISIONS ARE HADE. 

Cases brought to the Board for decision are at once referred to the 
executive committee for examination and report. This committee 
examines each case, consulting printed authorities, such as mother 
maps, gazetteers, local historians, atlases, etc. Especiall}'^ does it seek 
after, and it generally obtains, the local usage, to which it attaches 
great importance. Local usage is usually obtained by correspondence 
with county clerks, postmasters, and residents who are conversant 
with local conditions. This information derived from correspondence 
is often supplemented by the oral testimony of individuals having per- 
sonal knowledge of the name under consideration. The information 
needful for deciding may be obtained quickly, within a day or two, or 
it may take months. When the executive committee is satisfied, it 
tabulates the results on cards, which are printed blanks whereon spaces 
are left for entering various items of information. When all the data 
are tabulated the members of the executive committee record their 
preferences, signing their initials. Thus there is a record vote of the 
executive committee. The cards so prepared are submitted to the 
Board at its regular monthly meetings, and considered one by one. 
Usually the executive committee agrees on its recommendations. 
Not infrequently, however, there is a divided report. The case being 
submitted to the Board, a vote is taken, and a majority, not of those 
present, but of the whole Board, is necessary to decide. The decision so 
reached is written at the top of the card, which is thereupon stamped 
Approved^ with the date of the approval. Usually, from one to several 
cases at each meeting, are by the Board sent back to the conunittee for

Such is the present practice of the Board, gradually developed as the 
outcome of experience. The principles which govern decisions were 
at the outset considered and formulated with great painstaking and care. 
They were the subjects of many and earnest discussions, and it is a mat- 
ter on which the Board congratulates itself that these principles so 
elaborated and adopted have so well stood the test of usage. While 
experience has improved practice in the Board^s operations, it has con- 
tributed practically nothing in the way of principles. 

PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 

It must be understood that these are not designed as ruleSj but as 
guiding principles^ from which the Board reserves liberty to depart 
whenever, in its judgment, it deems it advisable to do so. 

Euphonious and suitable names of Indian, Spanish, or French origin 
should be retained. 

Names suggested by peculiarities of the topographic features desig- 
nated—such as their form, vegetation, or animal life — are generally 
acceptable, but duplication of names, especially within one state, 
should be avoided. The names ''Elk," *' Beaver," ''Cottonwood," 
and ''Bald" are altogether too numerous. 

Names of living persons should be applied very rarely, and only 
those of great eminence should be thus honored. No personal names 
should be attached because of relationship, friendship, or personal 
interest, nor should names of obscure persons be given. Names of 
eminent men now dead may be thus perpetuated, particularly those of 
early explorers, naturalists, geologists, topographers, etc. 

Long and clumsily constructed names and names composed of two 
or more words should be avoided. It is a foregone conclusion that 
such names will not be adopted by the public. If the name selected 



BEPOBT OF BOABD ON OEOGBAPHIO NAMES. 21 

t 

consists of more than one word the words should be combined if 
practicable. 

The multiplication of names for different parts of the same feature, 
such as a river or mountain range, should be avoided. Only one name 
should be applied to a stream or mountain range throughout its entire 
length; in the case of a river the name should follow up its longest 
branch. 

The naming of forks, prongs, branches, etc, as ^^East Fork" or 
''North Prong" of a river, should be avoided unless there is a special 
reason for it. In most cases, independent names should be given to a 
river's branches. 

That spelling and pronunciation which is sanctioned by local usage 
should, in general, be adopted. 

Where names have been changed or corrupted, and such changes or 
corruptions have become established by local usage, it is not usually 
advisable to attempt to restore the original form. 

In cases where what was evidently originally the same word appears 
with various spellings sanctioned by local usage, when applied to 
various features, these various spellings should be regarded as in 
effect different names, and, as a rule, it is inadvisable to attempt to 
produce uniformity. 

Where a choice is offered between two or more names for the same 
place or locality, all sanctioned by local usage, that which is most 
appropriate and euphonious should be adopted. 

The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done 
without destroying the euphony of the name or changing its descrip- 
tive application. 

In names ending in '' burgh" the final "h" should be dropped. 

Names ending in " borough" should be abbreviated to "boro." 

The word ''center," as a part of a name, should be spelled as above, 
and not "centre." 

The use of hyphens in connecting parts of names should be dis- 
continued. 

The letters " C. H." (Court-House) appended to the names of county 
seats should be omitted. 

In the case of names consisting of more than one word it is some- 
times desirable to combine them into one word. 

It is desirable to avoid the use of diacritic characters. 

It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as parts 
of names. 

PBINCIPLES FOB SPECIAL APPUCATION IN POBEIGN 0OUNTBIE8. 

(1) Geographic names in countries that use Roman characters should 
be rendered in the form adopted by the country having jurisdiction, 
except where there are English equivalents already fixed by usage. 
In cases where the English equivalent is so different from the local 



22 BEPOBT OF BOABD ON GEOOBAPHIC KAME8. 

form that the identity of the latter with the former might not be recog- 
nized, the English form should be adopted, but both forms may be 
given, 

(2) The spelling of geographic names that require transliteration 
into Roman characters should represent the principal sounds of the 
word as pronounced in the native tongue, in accordance with the 
sounds of the letters in the following system. 

An approximation only to the true sound is aimed at in this system. 
The vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian and on the Continent of 
Europe generally, and the consonants as in English: 

a has the soond of a in father. Examples: Java, Banana, Somali, Bari. 
e has the sound of e in men. Examples: Tel el Kebir, Medina, Pern, 
i has the soond of i in ravine, or the sound of ee in beet Exan^ples: Fiji, HindL 
o has the sound of o in mote. 

u has the sound of oo in boot. Examples: Umnak, Unga. 
ai has the sound of i in ice. Example: Shanghai. 
ao is slightly different from above. Example: Nanao. 

ei has the sound of the two Italian vowels, but is frequently slnrred over, when 
it is scarcely distinguishable from ey in the English they. Examples: 
Beirut, Beilul. 
c is always soft, and has nearly the sound of s; hard c is given byk. Example: 
Celebes. 
ch is always soft, as in church. Example: Ohingchin. 
f as in English; ph should not be used for this sound. Thus, not Haiphong, 

but Haifong. 
g is always hard (soft g is given by j). Example: Gralapagos. 
h is always pronounced when inserted. 
J as in English; dj should never be put for this sound. Examples: Japan, 

Jinchuen. 
k as in English. It should always be used for the hard c. Thus, not Corea, 
but Korea, 
kh has the sound of the oriental gutteral. Example: Khan, 
gh is another gutteral, as in the Turkish: Dagh, Ghazi. 
ng has two slightly different sounds, as in finger, singer, 
q should never be employed; qu is given by kw. Example: Kwangtung. 
b, d, 
1, m, 
n, p, 
r, s, 
t, V, 
w, X, 
and 



as in English. 



y is always a consonant, as in yard, and should not be used for the vowel i. 

Thus, not Mikindany, but Mikindani. 
All vowels are shortened in sound by doubling the following consonant 

Examples: Yarra, Tanna, Jidda, Bonni. 
Doubling a vowel is only necessary where there is a distinct repetition of the 

single sound. Example: Nuulua. 
Accents should not, generally, be used; but where there is a very decided 

emphatic syllable or stress which affects the sound of the word it should 

be marked by an acute accent Examples: Tongatdbu, GaUpagoe, Pftldwan, 

Sarawak. 



REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 23 

In order to secure uniformity in so far as possible in the matter of 
transliteration of Chinese place names and in order that the system 
adopted may conform to what is apparently to be the standard in 
American publications, it is recommended that the following rules be 
adopted for observance, viz: 

(1) The spelling generally shall follow the Wade system, but no 
attempt shall be made to modify established foreign local usage, and 
the English form of a name as printed in the Imperial Maritime Cus- 
toms Trade Reports shall be conclusive as to local usage. 

(2) The diacritical marks used in the Wade system shall be omitted. 

(3) Names shall be printed as single words. 

(4) Forms sanctioned by long usage in standard publications in the 
English language shall be retained. 

OONCLUSION. 

The Board again respectfully calls attention to the fact that it is 
without means for carrying on its work, save by the courtesy of the 
bureaus, offices, and institutions represented in its membership. It is 
without direct means for printing or distributing it8 decisions. It is 
without means for meeting the calls that are made upon it for publica- 
tions, for information, and for decisions. Its progress has, therefore, 
been slow, and might, indeed, have ceased altogether had not the calls 
made upon it — unceasingly made — attested a real need for some such 
agency or institution. To facilitate its work in the future it has 
adopted the resolutions contained in the letter of transmittal on page 5 
of this report

shore," and he had soundings in 16 fathoms 
over a hard, sandy bottom. "After we had 
rounded the promontory, a large bay, as we 
had Imagined, opened to our view, that bore a 



very promisinjc appearance and into which we 
steered, with every encouraging ezpectattoo. 
As we steered into the bay the water shoaled to 
9, 8, and 7 fathoms, where breakers were seen 
right ahead, and from the nuuithead they were 
observed to extend across the bay. We there- 
fore hauled out." The name Gape Disappoint- 
ment was given to the promontory. It waa 
called Cape Hancock by Gray, in 1792. He 
changed this name to Cape Disappointment 
upon hearing that Meares had so named it. 
Cape Disappointment retained by Vancouver, 
by Belcher in 1839, and by Ex. Ex. in 1841. 
Duflot de Mofras, 1844, calls it Cape San Roqoe 
or Disappointment It was called Cape Han- 
cock or Disappointment at the first examination 
of the entrance to the river, in 1850, and the 
name Hancock, subsequently, in a secondary 
manner in the Light-House List, but the name 
Disappointment is that used on the offlciAl 
charts and by all navigators. — Pacifle Ooaat

Haiti; island. West Indies. 

Note.— Haiti was tbe native name of tiie 
island when Columbus landed, on December 6, 
1492, and called it Espognola, which was lat- 
inized into Hispaniola. The French colony 
which gained control of a part of the island 
was called Saint Domingue, and in 1796, when 
France acquired title to the entire island by 
treaty with Spain, it was called Saint Domin- 
gue; but when the French were driven out 
and independence declared, in 1804, the aborig- 
inal name Haiti was revived by the negroes. 
Shortly after this the Spaniards reestablished 
themselves In the eastern port of the island, 
retaining the French name modified to Santo 
Domingo, but in 1821 lost control, and from 1822 
to 1843 the whole Island was under one govern- 
ment as the Republic of Haiti. In 1844 the 
eastern portion of the island again asserted its 
independence of Haiti and established the 
Dominican Republic, which remains to the 
present day. 

Thus toKiay the Island of Haiti, which seems 
to be the proper name, consists of two coun- 
tries, Haiti on the west end and Santo Domiago 
on the east end. R. C.
