Geographic Names Board

The Geographic Names Board is an organization responsible for officially naming and managing the names of geographical features, such as mountains, rivers, and towns. Its main purpose is to ensure that these names are standardized and used consistently, which helps with mapping, navigation, and addressing. The board typically involves community input and historical considerations when making decisions about naming or renaming places. This ensures that names reflect local significance and heritage while avoiding confusion in communication and documentation. Overall, it plays a crucial role in preserving cultural identity and facilitating geographic information.
