Two entries on this list straddle county lines. Dema sits mostly in neighboring Perry
\nCounty, with only its western edge reaching into Knott. Vicco, a small home-rule city, has most
\nof its territory and population in Perry County too, with just a slice of its boundary crossing
\ninto Knott — neither place’s population is counted toward Knott County above.<\/p>\n

Sixteen names that appeared on this page’s earlier list — Amburgey, Amelia, Bolyn,
\nBrinkley, Carr Creek, Cordia, Decoy, Drew, Dry Creek, Hall, Larkslane, May, Nealy, Odgen Gap,
\nOmaha and Puncheon — could not be confirmed against Knott County’s current community
\nlist and have been dropped rather than published unverified; see the notes for this page.<\/p>\n
