A gazetteer is a published list of place names. Descriptions given in gazetteers vary according to the purpose for the publication. They were created for different reasons such as to be a postal guide or to document geography. Gazetteers may describe towns and villages, parishes, counties, provinces, rivers and mountains, sizes of population, and other geographical features. They usually include only the names of places that existed at the time the gazetteer was published. The place-names are generally listed in alphabetical order, similar to a dictionary.<br> | A gazetteer is a published list of place names.
