Newfoundland has yet to put a famous person on the list

Next door, West Milford Township lists 4, led by Laurene Powell Jobs. The longest list of any town in New Jersey belongs to Hackensack, with 62. Summit has the second-longest list in New Jersey, after Hackensack, with 61. In all of New Jersey, the famous people on record come from 436 towns.

Who’s listed here

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