Leeds has yet to put a famous person on the list

1,265 towns across New York can name a famous person born there. New York City’s 99 names make the longest list in New York. After New York City, the next longest list in New York is Huntington’s, with 81.

Who’s listed here

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

Back to Leeds

From Wikidata and Wikipedia: people whose birthplace is Leeds 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.
