No one from Sligo is on the famous people list yet

976 towns in Pennsylvania have at least one famous person on record. Bethlehem’s 78 names make the longest list in Pennsylvania. After Bethlehem, the next longest list in Pennsylvania is Altoona’s, with 69.

Who’s listed here

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