Talk:Fort Snelling (unorganized territory), Minnesota

Name[edit]

Meant to link to WP:USPLACE. US places and civil divisions just always tend to be related to their states. And types of division that are not part of the official name are not appended (Fort Snelling unorganized territory isn't the same as Denmark Township.) —innotata 03:16, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unorganized Territory[edit]

U.S. Department of Interior, Office of Insular Affairs, Definitions of Insular Areas Political Organizations indicates an Unorganized Territory can not be an element of any city, county, or state.^[1]

Fort Snelling is not and never has been an unorganized territory of the United States - there's a reason it's in not in territories of the United States, which lists every single unorganized territory of the US ever to exist, and rather is listed in Category:Unorganized territories in Minnesota along with the scores of others in Minnesota (all of Minnesota is assigned to either a city, township, or unorganized territory). —innotata 20:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
