Mylo, North Dakota

Mylo is a city in Rolette County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 21 at the 2020 census. Other than a United States Post Office, there are no businesses or services at Mylo.

History
In June 1905, lots were sold for what is now the Village of Mylo. In November 1905, the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie railroad, simply known as the "Soo" or "Soo Line", for the phonetic spelling of "Sault" in Sault Ste. Marie, came through Mylo. On November 18, 1905, crews working from the east and those working from the west met about one mile west of Mylo to complete this agricultural branch of the Soo Line. A Post Office was established in Mylo in 1905 and was in operation until its closing in 2011. The Mylo Post Office also provided the rural route service for the Towner County city of Perth, N.D. in the later years. Mylo was incorporated as a village in 1907. Some notable items from the Mylo City Council Meetings are as follows:

On April 8, 1908, with all members voting yes, that sidewalks be constructed of planks at least 1 3/4 inch in thickness, or shall be of cement construction, and shall be eight feet in width, and properly supported, and be constructed at such grades as shall be approved by the street commissioner. On September 7, 1910, the clerk was authorized to order five Oliver street lamps for the village. Ole Peterson got paid 10 dollars for lighting the street lamps for the years 1910 and 1911. On January 3, 1912, Wm. Hazlett was paid one dollar for board of prisoners. On October 10, 1918, a special meeting was called to prohibit the holding of any public meetings until further notice to prevent the spread of influenza. On April 12, 1921, motion was made and carried to have hitching posts put up to tie horses to. On September 23, 1927, a special meeting was held to canvas the votes of a special election on whether or not to construct an electrical distribution system to be used in connection with the hi-line of the Otter Tail Power Co. This would give Otter Tail Power Co. permission to install and operate an electric light, power system and transmission line in the village for the purpose of furnishing electric lights, heat and power to the village and its inhabitants. There were 45 votes cast with all in favor of the construction. On January 15, 1937, the village board met and felt that as a result of the legalizing the sale of intoxicating liquor in the State of North Dakota and the adoption of the liquor control ordinance permitting the sale of intoxicating liquor in the village of Mylo, that additional police protection will be needed and to appoint a special officer to maintain order in the village. In 1954, Mylo signed an agreement with Northwest Bell Telephone Co. so they could put up poles and string wire so the residents could have telephones. Some of the businesses had phones prior to this.

It is not known for certain how Mylo got its name. It is said that it was possibly named after Melvin Small, who owned the land where Mylo was built, or it is named after Father Malo, the first Rolette County priest, or possibly named after the Soo Line agent who was involved in the location of the town site.

At its peak in 1920, Mylo had a peak population of 140. In the 2010 Census, the population of Mylo was shown to be 20, with no businesses in operation. The school in Mylo closed in the spring of 1973 and the last business in Mylo closed its doors in 1986.

Flag of Guernsey

The flag of Guernsey was adopted in 1985 and consists of the red Saint George's Cross with an additional gold Norman cross within it. The creation was prompted by confusion at international sporting events over competitors from Guernsey and England using the same flag. It was designed by the Guernsey Flag Investigation Committee led by Deputy Bailiff Sir Graham Dorey. The flag was first unveiled on the island on 15 February 1985. The gold cross represents William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy (who became, after the conquest, William I of England). William purportedly was given such a cross by Pope Alexander II and flew it on his standard in the Battle of Hastings. Since 2000, a red ensign with the cross in the fly has been used as the government's civil ensign and as a blue ensign.

History
Prior to 1985, Guernsey had no official unique flag and instead used the St George's Cross (the flag of England) as its flag when one was officially required. This came about after King Edward VIII granted consent for Guernsey to use the flag of England in 1936. During the German occupation of the Channel Islands, the residents were prevented from displaying official British symbols, but the flag of England was permitted for civilian use. The Government of Guernsey carried out official studies in 1906 and 1935 to determine any unique and identifiable historical flags that Guernsey could use to represent it. In 1983, the Bailiff of Guernsey argued the need for a new flag for Guernsey because of the confusion caused by using the flag of England. The impetus for the flag's creation was confusion at the 1982 Commonwealth Games, where Guernsey competed under the flag of England – some other nations' competitors erroneously believed England was entering two teams into the Games. Research was carried out by Deputy Bailiff Sir Graham Dorey, of Guernsey's Flag Investigation Committee. The committee considered a number of designs. It was initially considered that the new flag for Guernsey should contain green, but it was ruled that the colour green has no historical basis in Guernsey aside of being used as a sporting colour by the Guernsey national football team in Muratti matches. Consideration was given to using the coat of arms of Guernsey on a St George's Cross but this was rejected on the grounds that the arms would be unidentifiable at a distance. It was also decided that to do so would be to focus on English symbols, not recognising Guernsey's independence or Norman history. The committee eventually settled on including a gold cross on top of the St George's Cross. The gold cross was chosen as it was a symbol of King William the Conqueror, seen on a banner at the Battle of Hastings, as portrayed on the Bayeux Tapestry. That banner was purportedly given to William by Pope Alexander II as a symbol of his blessing for the Norman Conquest of England along with a request for the clergy of the Church of England to give way to William. The new flag's design was to symbolise that the islanders were of Norman descent but loyal to the English (and later British) Crown. In 1985 Queen Elizabeth II, Duke of Normandy, granted a Royal Warrant for the flag to become the official flag of Guernsey. Unveiled on 15 February 1985, the flag was flown for the first time on Liberation Day on 9 May, the 40th anniversary of the Channel Islands' liberation from German occupation during the Second World War.

Thereafter, the Guernsey flag was used in the Grosse Rocque ceremony, replacing the Union Jack, which had traditionally been raised on Grosse Rocque every August bank holiday. The flag would then fly on the rock continuously for a year before being replaced with a new one. The flag of Guernsey is flown from all of the States of Guernsey buildings except on designated flag-flying days, when the Union Jack is used instead. These days mostly relate to birthdays and anniversaries of senior members of the Royal Family as well as Commonwealth Day and Remembrance Sunday. The flag is also flown on the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings on all public buildings.

The flag provided inspiration for the flag of Alderney in 1993. It has also inspired other symbols. In 2011, the Guernsey Ambulance and Rescue Service adopted a new logo comprising the Cross of St George and gold Norman cross, but defaced by the Maltese Cross of the Venerable Order of Saint John based on the Guernsey flag. In November 2012 the Bailiwick of Guernsey's St John Ambulance was elevated to a Commandery within the Order dependent on the Priory of England and the Islands in a church service which included granting a new flag from the British College of Arms including elements of the flag of Guernsey.

The flag is not universally supported. Some Guernsey sports fans complain that the flag lacks Guernsey's sporting colour of green or the crest of Guernsey. In the 2000s, a green and white tribar with the coat of arms of Guernsey in the centre was created by Guernsey sports fans to be used as Guernsey's unofficial sporting flag.

Guernsey ensign
At the same time as the flag of Guernsey was adopted, the Royal Warrant also provided for creation of a Guernsey civil ensign. This was created as a British red ensign incorporating the Guernsey gold cross. That was created for Guernsey residents and British subjects as an alternative flag of Guernsey as well as to be used as Guernsey's merchant ensign. In 2000, the States of Guernsey adopted a blue ensign version of the Guernsey ensign for maritime usage on government vessels.

Gallery of historical flags
The previous flag of Guernsey was the St George's Cross, which Guernsey was permitted to use in 1936 for its state flag. However, there is evidence to suggest the existence of an even earlier Guernsey flag, used in the mid-19th century. This was a St George's cross on a blue-and-white chequered field, with the Union Flag in canton. Further details of its use and official status remain doubtful, however.

Talk:County Down

Comments
since, AFAIK, counties in N. America all have names with the format "X County", and not "County X" as in Ireland. -- 194.73.118.77 10:53, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

Why the county crest in irish? EIRE across it? County Down is in Northern Ireland and the UK. Any crest should be in English. 86.131.202.57 23:03, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Well I'm guessing that this is some kind of historical crest, but if so, it should be clarified as such. --feline1 09:45, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Its obviously a GAA crest. Djegan 18:49, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It is not "obviously" a football club crest, it says "country crest" and is given a prominent place at the top of the article, the same way a national flag is for a country entry, or a coat of arms foDjegan 22:15, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Image:Gaelic Athletic Association.png Image:Downnewcrest.jpg

 * Conspiracy no, only a unionists would think that, wrong crest yes, i organized pratically all of the GGA pagesm and it is the gaa crest used by the County GAA board, should it be used on this page, no not for that it a nationalist unionist issue, is it the wrong crest yes, if anything should be uaed it should be a tradation crest, my objections to using most of the gaa crest in the any county infobox is that many are geared to the GAA, with symbols that represent the GAA and the sports, or something. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 22:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I suggest this option, . It must be remembered that as Northern Ireland is no longer county based their is no such thing as "official crests" in any case. Their all potentially pov. Djegan 22:32, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I dunno what you guys are going on about 'conspiracy theories' (and I sincerely hope you weren't implying I am a unionist!!) - the problem with the crest is above all that it is from some feckin football team, yet is stuck atop the article giving the impression that its an official coat of arms. (And yes, Djegan, if you put the two images beside each other, I can see the "obvious" similarity - but since I neither know nor care anything about football, why would I have known what a GAA logo looked like? Wikipedia articles are not supposed to only be intelligable to people who like football!

You appear to have found the correct heraldic coat-of-arms for Down, so that should certainly be the one used in the article. I wouldn't worry about the fact that counties in NornIrond are no longer used for local government administration - they are still quite ubiquitously recognised by everyone who lives in the country (much more so that the local government districts - I'd be amazed if you could find me someone who could rhyme off the names of all of those!), and if we have an article about a historical county, we can surely show its historical coat of arms....--feline1 23:16, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Would this crest be a more suitable one? Image:Down_Crest.gif (Thebdogg 22:18, 1 November 2005 (UTC))

 * I think Djegan already found the proper one, with his external links above. That one you've found is close, but it doesn't have a fish! LOL. I'm sure the people of Ardglass and Dongdiggledee would want to see their fish on there.--feline1 23:43, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Imperial vs. Metric
It is just a little peculiar and trolling to change metric to imperial as this has been the consensus since just about anyone can remember in these articles. Additionally all other infoboxes for Northern Ireland counties use metric only. Hopefully not another revert war. Djegan 17:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Even English counties use metric e.g. Berkshire, Nottinghamshire. Djegan 17:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * What the English counties you note have in them currently is fair enough. I have been patiently changing the order of importance, or including the imperial distances in articles I've noticed. Why? Because in the United Kingdom, distances are measured in miles - not in kilometres. Being a person from the UK, kilometres means very little to me. Other measurements in feet and/or metres don't matter because they are used interchangeably in the UK. --Mal 00:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * If you want to include imperial fair enough - but please bear in mind that a consensus would be worth getting first before a massive change in ordering or removal of metric. Incidentially if you are including imperial then simply converting the metric value using standard conversions is somewhat improper; ideally an external source would be best. Additionally if you want to show your good faith it may be worth bearing in mind that simply changing the imperial/metric in one article (viz this one) is not sufficent, all effected articles should be changed, i.e. Northern Ireland. This would be a big project and a consensus would be ideal; perhaps as far as manual of style. 15:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Of course I want to note the distances in imperial - the country's distances are measured in miles, as I've already stated. If metric distance measurements are to be included, then that's fair enough. What could possibly be "bad faith" about putting the country's own measurements in any article? This is done for the USA (for example), and as that is a precedent, I don't believe consensus is neeeded.

 * Nor have I merely "changed" the imperial/metric references in one article - as I explained above, I had been "patiently changing" these in other articles.

 * I agree re Manual of Style that this should be included for all UK-related articles. The UK is a funny place whereby other measurements for shorter distances, or for heights etc may well be mentioned equally as much in metric as they are in imperial. Distances between towns, villages etc should be first and foremost measured in miles though, as that is the system used throughout. Is there an MoS specific to the UK? --Mal 23:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Please seek agreement first. Their is a WP:IMOS and I will take it their if your going to play a revert war on it. Djegan 23:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Before you start a revert war Mal/Setenta747 please ask yourself why metric figures are predominantly used in other UK articles (eg Belfast (Northern Ireland), Cardiff (Wales), London (England), even Scotland) firstly and why Northern Ireland articles should be different??? Its not the time to turn Northern Ireland into a metric second place against the rest of the UK, unless you have an agenda, going against the tide is not a good idea. Be sensible and consistant with like articles. Djegan 23:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Futhermore I think if your introducing imperial and changing the order to imperial first that is perhaps the most spectacular waste of time you can get involved in. Northern Ireland as imperial units heaven? Have a look thru' some UK articles. Sigh. Djegan 23:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The MOS suggests putting the measurement used in the source of the figure first, and the conversion second. This article does not cite its sources, so that's not terribly helpful here. The measurements have to have come from somewhere though. If this is going to come under the auspices of WP:IMOS, I would imagine that metric is the way to go. Martin 00:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * While its true that road sign distanes use miles, I have rarely came across imperial measurement elsewhere. Growing up in school, etc we always used metric measurements and any imperial measurements I ever came acorss I would convert them into metric in my head and not the other way about. For example if someone told me to walk x yards, I would convert this into metres in my head and then walk y metres. Also when I see a sign saying somewhere is X miles away, I convert this into kilometres and think it is Y kilometres away. Not becasue that is what they use in the south, but because we were always taugh metric in school and I can only assume this is the same everywhere, and I can only assume that its only a matter of time before distances and speed limits change to metric easurements in the north. Therefore I believe metric should be given presedence. Derry Boi 18:44, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Djegan: "Before you start a revert war Mal/Setenta747" I have not started anything other than to identify the fact that in the UK distances between locations such as towns are measured in miles.

 * "please ask yourself why metric figures are predominantly used in other UK articles (eg Belfast (Northern Ireland), Cardiff (Wales), London (England), even Scotland) firstly and why Northern Ireland articles should be different???" With regard to distances between locations, I suspect you are in error. The metric system is quite widely used throughout the UK - indeed, there was an increase in its usage following certain legislation the government made with regard to our status within the EU. However, the imperial system continues to be used widely also, and certainly almost exclusively with regard to mileage markers, everyday speech etc.

 * "Its not the time to turn Northern Ireland into a metric second place against the rest of the UK, unless you have an agenda, going against the tide is not a good idea. Be sensible and consistant with like articles." That is precisely what I am attempting: consistency. The UK uses miles to measure distances between locations. The articles should reflect that. The USA uses miles to measure distances between locations. I imagine most of the articles already reflect this. Northern Ireland will not be treated any differently because it is my intention to ensure the articles are consistent throughout Wikipedia.

 * "Futhermore I think if your introducing imperial and changing the order to imperial first that is perhaps the most spectacular waste of time you can get involved in." Likewise, I could say the same about your protestations, with the added facet that you are being inconsistent if you continue to attempt to make a mountain out of a molehill.

 * Martin: "The MOS suggests putting the measurement used in the source of the figure first, and the conversion second. This article does not cite its sources, so that's not terribly helpful here. The measurements have to have come from somewhere though. If this is going to come under the auspices of WP:IMOS, I would imagine that metric is the way to go." I would imagine that imperial is the way to go when talking of specific measurements. People in the UK generally measure themselves in feet/inches; stones/pounds etc, and distances between locations are measured in miles. You say the "measurements have to come from somewhere". They do - roadsigns established this type of measurement many years ago.

 * Derry Boi: "Also when I see a sign saying somewhere is X miles away, I convert this into kilometres and think it is Y kilometres away." You may be the exception that proves the rule I'm afraid. Everyone I ever speak to in Northern Ireland, or elsewhere in the UK say, "X is Y miles away", or ask, "How many miles to X?" So far the UK has resisted any notion of changing this to kilometres, and I personally can't see it changing any time soon: like the USA, we're just too used to it. --Mal 10:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Mal/Setanta747 unless you prove you have a valid case its not going to change. Anyway your only converting metric to imperial. Sigh. Their is a consensus here for metric firsly, put imperial secondly of you wish. Thats it. If you are not happy take another wikiholiday. Djegan 10:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I suspect you are only "testing the waters" and would eventually do this to all Northern Ireland articles that you have tagged (i.e. just about every article even vaguely associated with Northern Ireland). If this was been done in good faith then you would convert all such articles now, but some of them have metric only and we would not want it to be known that we were amaturishly converting metric to imperial and then putting imperial most prominantly. We might have to actually do some work to accompish such a task, and citations of such details for referencing. Djegan 10:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

County St Mirren
I just removed the reference to the county being previously known as "County St Mirren". It was added by an anon IP in February. The IP has only made a handful of edits, mostly vandalism. Also I can find *absolutely* no evidence to the county ever bearing the name. Lozleader 09:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Map
I uploaded a newer county map on par with the county maps for counties of ireland. these maps highlights the position of the county within the island of Ireland as well as Northern Ireland thus satisfying the pattern shown for the other county maps. I am aware that the other maps was just of Northern Ireland counties, however the location of the county on an "island-wide" basis is more beneficial to tourists and is a compromise that should satisfy both Nationalists and Unionists. --  RÓNÁN   "Caint / Talk"  17:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I find these unionist/nationalist edit wars rather asinine, but I note that if you look at, say, Kent or Powys, their maps only show the parent politcal unit (England, Wales) and not any geographically adjacent territory. Thus following this style precedent, Down should only show Northern Ireland, and Mayo should only show the Republic of Ireland, etc. Personally I'm not sure I like this convention, as the maps would surely be more informative if they showed adjacent areas?--feline1 17:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I also seen that for other areas in the UK, however I thought as you did, that it would be more beneficial to show the whole island (indeed for foreigners looking for the location of the county) as is shown for counties in other provinces on the island of Ireland. Take County Cork for example.
 * --  RÓNÁN   "Caint / Talk"  19:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Are English and Welsh counties one in the same thing? Are we compairing like-with-like? Compairing England and Wales with the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland maybe simplistic at best. Their is (or at least was) a "style precedent" for Ireland; and that is all counties on the map are shown irrespective of which side of the border. Djegan 20:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

One of the problems with the most recent maps (for instance) is that one might have validly believed that Northern Ireland was an island entirely surrounded by water. It would be a good idea, as a miniumum, to at least imply their is an independent and separate political entity to the south and west as indicated on some other mapping styles (for instance as in the U.S.). Djegan 20:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you Djegan, that was the point i was trying to explain. It does look from just the Northern Ireland map that is it solely an island and this is confusing to non-Irish/UK observers. I would like to hear other peoples opinions on this map type, especially Unionists to see if this is ok with everyone to use! --  RÓNÁN   "Caint / Talk"  20:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Population of County Down in the 2001 Census
Population of County Down cannot be determined absolute as information in the census is no longer collected on a county basis. However, a relatively reliable estimate can be made using the figures and maps provided by the Ordnance Survey and the fingures from the 2001 Census freely available from NISRA. Despite Belfast, Lisburn, Newry & Mourne and Craigavon council areas all crossing the county boundaries, the electoral wards within them tend not to. In the small amount of cases where the Electoral Wards do cross into County Antrim or County Armagh, the Census Output Areas serve as a yet smaller geographical breakdown of the figures. In certain circumstances these Census Output Areas do cross the border and I have chosen to only select those which the majority of the Area is within County Down. If anyone has any queries or suggestions please get in contact. I'm going to replace the 489,000 number which has not yet been sourced at the time of writing. The Wikipedia article for County Cork states that the population of that county in 2006 was 481,294 which is lower than both 492,840 and 489,000 and so County Down seems to be the third, rather than the fourth largest county in Ireland.

Population of County Down in the 2011 UK Census
As I've mentioned before on this page (see "Population of County Down in the 2001 Census") one cannot be certain as to the exact population of any county in Northern Ireland as statistics are not collected on a county basis anymore - rather district council, electoral wards, Westminster constituencies etc. are prefered. Below is an updated account of my relatively reliable estimate based on the recently released detailed breakdown in the figures from the 2011 UK Census. I have used exactly the same process as last time. No area included last time (when, in 2010, I did this same culculation for the 2001 census) has been left out this time, and vice versa.

The only thing that has changed is the name used by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency to its smallest geographic area of record; what used to be called a "census output area" is now called a "small area". But these are exactly the same entity - their boundaries have not changed. However, as part of this change their code identier has changed also. For ease of reference I have given both below. The order is the same as last time (despite the fact that these new codes might suggest a new order be adopted).

In brief County Down had an appoximate population of 492,840 in 2001 according to the UK Census of that year. The approximate corresponding figure from the 2011 UK Census is 531,665. Regarding County Cork: again County Down appears to be the third, rather than the fourth, largest county on the island of Ireland in terms of population. County Cork had a population of 518,128 in the Republic of Ireland's 2011 Census.

Downshire
The sentence "The county was archaically called Downshire" seems unsatisfactory. The marquisate of Downshire is still a current peerage, and there is a hotel of that name in Banbridge, but the adjective "archaic" means not simply "disused" but "ancient". I'm also unsure whether "Downshire" was exclusively used at any point, or whether its use was always contemporaneous with "County Down". I would propose to replace the sentence with "A former name for the county was Downshire". Deipnosophista (talk) 12:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Government
Ignorant outsider here: is there any kind of county-level government or administration? If so, this should be added to the article. If not, it's worth pointing out, since in general one would expect an administrative division like a county to correspond to some level of government. Thanks!

Fort Yates, North Dakota

 Fort Yates is a hamlet in Sioux County, North Dakota, United States. It is the tribal headquarters of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and county seat of Sioux County. Since 1970 the population has declined markedly from more than 1,100 residents, as people have left for other locations for work. The population was 176 at the 2020 census.

History
A primarily Native American settlement developed here after a US Army post at this site was established in 1863 as the Standing Rock Cantonment, intended for the US Army garrison to oversee the Hunkpapa and Blackfeet bands, and the Inhunktonwan and Cuthead of the Upper Yanktonai, of the Lakota Oyate. In 1878 the US Army renamed the fort to honor Captain George Yates, who was killed by the Lakota Oyate at the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. The town that developed was also known as Fort Yates. The Army post and fort were decommissioned in 1903.

Fort Yates also served as the headquarters of the US Standing Rock Indian Agency, which in the late 19th century was headed by US Indian Service Agent James McLaughlin. Worried about the Hunkpapa Lakota chief Sitting Bull possibly taking part in the Ghost Dance movement, he ordered the arrest of the chief on December 14, 1890. During the bungled event the chief was shot and killed at dawn in his log cabin by agency non-Hunkpapa Dakota police.

Sitting Bull was buried at Fort Yates. In 1953, his family authorized his remains to be exhumed and transferred to a gravesite overlooking the Missouri River near his birthplace at Mobridge, South Dakota. A monument dedicated to Sitting Bull was installed at his burial site at Fort Yates. Another monument, with his bust on a pedestal, overlooks the Missouri River at the Mobridge burial site.

This city has become the tribal headquarters of the federally recognized Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, whose reservation encompasses it. They founded Sitting Bull College in Fort Yates, a tribal college now named for their noted 19th-century leader. Known also as "Long Soldier", it is the most populous electoral district of the reservation.
