Henderson has yet to put a famous person on the list

Wilmington’s 67 names make the longest list in North Carolina. After Wilmington, the next longest list in North Carolina is Rocky Mount’s, with 55. Across North Carolina, the lists cover 336 towns.

Who’s listed here

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

From Wikidata and Wikipedia: people whose birthplace is Henderson 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.
