ePodunk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epodunk is a website started by journalists in 1999 that profiles communities across the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the UK, including over 20,000 communities in the US. It provides geocoded information that includes local museums, attractions, parks, colleges, libraries, cemeteries and other features. In addition to providing vintage postcards that its users can send online, ePodunk gives local history information and interesting quirks and quotes about cities, towns, and podunks.[1]
The United States version of ePodunk is notable for its inclusion of maps and rankings of American municipalities based on the population of these communities based on ancestry and ethnicity. Maps and tables are provided for ancestry groups ranging from Acadian-Cajun and African-American to Assyrian-Chaldean-Syriac, Cape Verdean, French, Israeli, Potawatomi and Yugoslavian, among several dozen other ancestry / ethnicity categories tracked by the United States Census Bureau. The maps and listings show communities in which 1,000 or more people listed an ancestry group on the United States Census, 2000.
