About this page
This page lists the sources used to research and write the community and area content on this website, organized by the page or article each source supports.
This list is not yet complete for the whole website. It currently covers the Goshen and Elkhart community and relocation pages listed below, together with their supporting authority articles. As new pages and articles are published, their sources will be added here. If a page on this site isn't yet listed, its sources have not yet been added to this page — that does not mean the content is unsourced, only that this page hasn't caught up to it yet.
This information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Sources listed here were accurate and current as of the date shown for each page. Community details — business names, hours, events, and similar facts — change over time, and a source being listed here is not a guarantee that the fact drawn from it remains current today. Named businesses, events, and similar details are reviewed at least annually; if you notice something out of date, please let us know.
This page does not cover market or property data. Market statistics are sourced separately, directly from the Elkhart County Board of REALTORS® (ECBOR), with the source and date shown for each figure on the Market Stats page. This page also does not list the internal compliance and brand documents that govern how this site is written (fair housing rules, brand standards, and similar) — only the sources of the facts the site reports.
For the full legal disclaimer covering this and all website content, see Disclaimers.

Sources last verified: July 2026

- Baugo Community Schools — baugo.org — the district and its four Jimtown schools. Baugo does not publish a public boundary map, so no source is cited for its boundary; a specific address must be confirmed with the district's enrollment office.

- City of Elkhart — official city site

Cross-reference note: the population figure (roughly 54,000) and the 1832 platting date are the figures on which Wikipedia and Britannica agree. ACHP Preserve America gives 52,000 and 1831 — both close but not identical. The majority figures are used on the page, and the discrepancy is recorded here rather than resolved silently.
