The
Columbia Gazetteer of the World Online is a geographic database of over 165,000 entries including place-names, physical characteristics and attributes, political properties, economic parameters, and natural and agricultural resources. It was recently updated to include the 2000 U.S. census data and thus has population data to support its place names. The scope is obviously global as its title reflects and it is updated on a monthly basis.
