Questions regarding Los Alamos / White Rock – township or city?
I have heard many people describe Los Alamos as "townsite"
rather than "city." Someone told me that isn't correct
because it is a county, not a city, but yet in many ways it seems
like it's a city!
If I am
writing or speaking about the County, how do I refer to Los Alamos?
And how do I refer to White Rock?
This is a question that puzzles many tourists and newcomers! We are
officially the Incorporated County of Los Alamos, and so that's the
way the County will be referred to in any formal document. If someone
wants to refer to the area occupied by the residents of the County,
then you are correct that most people refer in informal writings or
conversation to "Los Alamos townsite" and "White Rock
community." It's just important to note that neither Los Alamos
nor White Rock are officially incorporated and therefore any
boundaries for a "townsite" or "community" aren't
fixed on a map anywhere, so using this kind of language in a formal
or legal document isn't correct.
