List of all municipalities in the state of New Jersey (USA), including GeonamesID.

Data

Data comes from multiple sources as follows:

List of municipality names, populations, type and form of government in nj-municipalities-wikipedia are from Wikipedia.

GeonamesID for each municipality is extracted from an API query to geonames.org.

Preparation

This package includes a Python script to fetch the GeonamesIDs for each municipality and output a combined JSON of all the municipality information. Three entries were hand-extracted because the automated search failed.

Install the requirements:

pip install -r scripts/requirements.pip

Edit scripts/settings.cfg and put in your Geonames API username.

Run the python script to generate the json file:

python scripts/fetch-geonames-ids.py
