A New Acronym: CDP

Friends, with our combined mileage, we are almost to St. Regis, MT!  What is there to know about St. Regis?  I turned to my trusty companion, Wikipedia.  Evidently St. Regis is a CDP, or a census designated place.

What is a census designated place, you may ask?  It is a concentration of population identified by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes. CDPs are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places, such as cities, towns, and villages. CDPs are populated areas that lack separate municipal government, but which otherwise physically resemble incorporated places.

In other words, just because St. Regis isn't a top tourist destination, doesn't mean it's not important.  Kind of like Nazareth was, back in the day.

Keep up the good work!
