Argo has yet to put a famous person on the list

The longest list in Iowa is Waterloo’s, with 61 names. Iowa City has the second-longest list in Iowa, after Waterloo, with 54. Across Iowa, 439 towns list someone born there.

Who’s listed here

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