Quickly research and filter the New York State (NYS) Gazetteer data with these easy to use, interactive map and search cards. Just follow the tips by clicking "Show More".

Quick tips: You can either click on the map or use the search cards to find desired data.  On the map, hover your cursor over a county and the number of localities within the county is given.  Click on the county and the list of localities will be presented in the table below the map.  With the search cards, as you enter a locality, a sample of available data is displayed to facilitate your search.  Narrative describing the main filter option is presented above the cards. Click "Clear" to remove filter(s).

Important reminders:  This dataset is intended to assist in the translation of the 4-digit code recorded in Bureau of Vital Records data into the name of the locality that the code represents. The first two digits of the code represent the county and the second two digits point to the locality within the county.  These districts are used to identify residences and places of occurrence of events reported as part of the vital records registration system of the NYS Department of Health.
