Description

The Place resource is used to read a place. It is a representation of the logical place and will have one or more Place Descriptions associated with it. For example, the city of Provo exists in the county of Utah, in the state of Utah, in the United States. However, when Provo was first established, the state of Utah did not exist. Utah County existed in the Utah Territory. So, Provo has two Place Descriptions but only one Place resource:

Provo, Utah, Utah Territory, United States (1850-1896)

Provo, Utah, Utah, United States (1896-present)
