Is it really spaced like that? --Maoririder 16:30, 2 August 2005 (UTC)http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=LeRoy+Michigan --Maoririder 16:30, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Hmm. Google is not very conclusive 769,000 hits for LeRoy vs. 762,000 hits for Le Roy. But, the extra space is probably due to how it appears in the U.S. Census and USGS databases. USGS and American Factfinder both have "Le Roy" for the place in Osceola County, and show a different set of results for "Leroy". Factfinder USGS. The Post Office prefers LEROY over LE ROY. Locals appear to use no space: LeRoy Area Chamber of Commerce, MIGenWeb, Leroy Area Historical Society. I've seen the Census get it wrong in some other cases as well, such as with various places called De Witt vs. DeWitt. So, if there are no objections here over the next few days, I think the article can be moved. older≠wiser 01:44, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
