Three places on this list sit on county lines. Royse City is chiefly a Rockwall County city,
\nwith only its eastern edge reaching into Hunt; its 13,508 residents are counted mostly outside
\nHunt County. Josephine straddles Hunt and Collin counties, and Poetry straddles Hunt and Kaufman
\ncounties — both towns’ population figures above are citywide, not Hunt-only. Farmersville,
\nsometimes listed against Hunt County, is a Collin County city; the previous version of this page
\nwrongly carried it and a run of unverifiable hamlet names (Aberfoyle, Boles Home, Chalmers, and
\nsimilar) with no traceable source, all dropped here.<\/p>\n
