Fruitland is the birthplace of 2 famous people

Charles Napier Smith (Canadian politician) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Gordon Howlett Dean.

Wikidata counts 3 born here, but only those an article confirms are listed.

100% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 22%.

Charles Napier Smith, from 1866; the most recent birth on the list is from 1922.

What counts is a birth that Wikidata places inside Fruitland’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from), its hospitals and districts too, and that the person’s English or French Wikipedia article repeats. Adult performers, people known chiefly for crimes and those who only lived here are not on the list. Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa and the other split cities keep a birth recorded only as the city on the city’s own page, while each neighbourhood lists just the births recorded in it.

Wikidata may give their birthplace only as Canada or a province, as a rural area or hamlet without a page here, or as another town; or their article may name a different place, or none. Only people both sources agree on are listed, and a fix on Wikidata or Wikipedia shows up here at the next refresh.
