Geographic Names Board

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

A Geographic Names Board is an official body established by a government to decide on official names for geographical areas and features.

Most countries have such a body, which is commonly (but not always) known under this name. Also, in some countries (especially those organised on a federal basis), subdivisions such as individual states or provinces will have individual boards.

Individual Geographic Names Boards

• South African Geographical Names Council
• United States Board on Geographic Names
