Two names on this list are easy to mix up. Menno the unincorporated community is a small
\ncrossroads inside Menno Township — the community and the township share a name but are not
\nthe same place. Church Hill straddles the line between Armagh and Brown townships, so its
\npopulation and ZIP code cover both sides of that boundary. The Census Bureau lists twelve more
\nCDPs here — Alfarata, Atkinson Mills, Barrville, Cedar Crest, Granville, Highland Park,
\nLongfellow, Lumber City, Maitland, Potlicker Flats, Siglerville and Strodes Mills — without
\na 2020 population count published separately; most are crossroads hamlets of a few dozen to a
\nfew hundred residents in the county’s outlying valleys.<\/p>\n
