USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
In Grand Canyon National Park, on the S rim of the Grand Canyon. 2.9 km (1.8 mi) SE of Mohave Point. National Historic Landmark open to the public.
"The town plan for Grand Canyon divided the village into discrete residential, commercial, and civic areas. It also included a consistent architectural idiom, a hierachy of street sections, and a central plaza with the village's major public buildings sited around it. These and other features of the plan make it not only an exceptional example of National Park Service (NPS) town planning, but a highly significant example of American town planning in the 1920s in general. No other example of National Park Service (NPS) planning from this era combines the historic associations, size, artistic significance, and excellent state of preservation as does the Grand Canyon Village." Designated a NHL in 1997. See www.nps.gov
