AS THIS MAP OF RANDOLPHS across the US shows, we are not alone… at least those of us who call Randolph home are not!
I reached this conclusion while developing my new Randolph website. Although not in the top-ten most popular town names, Randolph has 13 sister cities…towns, villages and townships named RANDOLPH. This number will shrink to 11 by the end of this year… more on that later.
Randolph’s closest counterpart is Randolph, Massachusetts, a town of 30,391 people just ½ hour south of Boston. Median home value is $333,400. New England has three other Randolph towns… one each in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
Five states in the middle of the US share the Randolph name, with the 37 residents of Randolph, Missouri, 620 Randolph residents from Minnesota, 254 in Randolph Iowa, 212 in Randolph, Kansas and 914 folks who call Randolph Nebraska home, the Mid West has a total of 2,072 Randolph residents.
Furthest from Randolph, New Jersey is the town of Randolph, Utah located in the northeast corner of the state, 2 hours from Salt Lake City and 2,100 miles from here in New Jersey. Their 670 residents have a median home value of $100,000.
It’s not often that we see town vanish from a map, but due to fiscal constraints, residents of upstate New York’s Randolph Village and East Randolph Village have voted to dissolve their communities and become part of the larger Randolph New York. An article outlining this change gives details.
12,635 residents of Texas and 5,994 Kansans share the proud name of Morris County with the 488,500 that call Morris County New Jersey home…
All told, a lucky 68,500 Americans get to call Randolph home… and just over a half-million reside in the three Morris County locations across the US.
Proof that we’re not alone.
