Hillsboro has yet to put a famous person on the list

In Virginia, 277 towns have someone on the list. The longest list of any town in Virginia belongs to Arlington, with 84. Newport News has the second-longest list in Virginia, after Arlington, with 60.

Who’s listed here

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