Orleans has yet to put a famous person on the list

Lincoln’s 45 names make the longest list in Nebraska. After Lincoln, the next longest list in Nebraska is Hastings’, with 40. Across Nebraska, 246 towns list someone born there.

Who’s listed here

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