Talk:Grottoes, Virginia

Removal of history section

I've removed the entire history section as being a verbatim copy of the source - the editor who added the section did provide the source. It is a good reference and can be used as the basis for a history section, but obviously it cannot be copied. Based on this removal, I am also reclassifying the article as a stub for WikiProject VA.--Kubigula (talk) 19:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Location Issues

Actually Grottoes is half in Augusta County and half in Rockingham County. In fact, most of the actual town (town hall, all the businesses etc) are in the Rockingham County half. The Augusta County portion is purely residential and also, if I am not mistaken, out of the corporate limits but still with in the mailing zip code etc. Trust me, I live there. Somebody please change this, I don't know how.

OK - I verified this and added the info to the article. Thanks for pointing that out.--Kubigula (talk) 15:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

You are indeed correct. The Census claims that seven people in the town limits live in Augusta. I verified I was reading the data correctly by adding the two county's populations together to get the total, and also looked at how other two-county towns' populations are reported. Follow the link in my reference for details. Gapmtn1 (talk) 17:48, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

4/21/08- The map of Virginia location of Grottoes seems to be on the Rockbridge County line instead of Rockingham. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.34.129.184 (talk) 20:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Agree, location is wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.176.163 (talk) 03:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I've created a new "red dot on" location map png file, uploaded, and included in this article. This was my first upload of a corrected work; hopefully I did all of the attributions correctly on the image file page. Gapmtn1 (talk) 17:48, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
