Samoa has yet to put a famous person on the list

Across California, 550 towns list someone born there. The longest list in California is Modesto’s, with 65 names. After Modesto, the next longest list in California is Alameda’s, with 64.

Who’s listed here

Famous people come from Wikidata (people whose birthplace is Samoa), checked against each person’s English Wikipedia article and ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover them. Nobody born in Samoa has passed that check yet, and nobody born within 35 miles is listed.

From Wikidata and Wikipedia: people whose birthplace is Samoa and whose English Wikipedia article agrees, ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover each person. People known mainly for crimes, and adult performers, aren’t listed. “The usual town” = everyone born in the towns gathered so far.
