This project contains two lists of cities, their names and alternative spellings. It has been compiled a few years ago from several open sources. The lists are both available in csv and sql format.
More precisely, the lists contain:
- cities[.csv|.sql]: A list of cities in The Netherlands, with their official name, latitude, longitude and population count.
- city_names[.csv|.sql]: A list of alternative spellings of the city names. The
city_idrefers to theidcolumn in the cities[.csv|.sql]. The alternative spellings include Frysian and alternative names like 'Den Haag' vs. ''s-Gravenshage'.
If you encounter any errors of missing values, please raise an issue on this repository containing a source/reference to support your claim. After validation, I will update the tables as soon as possible. Another way of contributing is by starting a pull request. Be sure to always support your claim by an external source.
