Every day we are working to add even more information to these community profiles.

Podunk: a small, unimportant, and isolated town

– Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary

At ePodunk, there’s no such thing as a small, unimportant town. We believe deeply in the power of place.

ePodunk provides in-depth information about more than 46,000 communities around the country, from Manhattan to Los Angeles, Pottstown to Podunk. Our listings also include geocoded information about thousands of parks, museums, historic sites, colleges, schools and other places across America.

This email arrived last week: “Can you tell me more about ePodunk. Is it a company? Side project? For-profit? Non-for-profit?”

We’re a privately-held, for-profit company. Information that appears on our pages is free (although copyrighted and not available for use on other web sites). We’re supported by advertising links.

We are now based in Rochester, NY. We started in 1999, in Ithaca, NY, just east of the real Podunk, a community so small it doesn’t appear on the U.S. Census Bureau’s list of places. ePodunk was founded by journalists with years of experience in newspapers, online publishing and demographics.

ePodunk launched its first in-depth site, profiling communities across the U.S., in 2001. In August 2005, a Canada site was added. And in late April 2006, we expanded to the U.K.
