John,

        If by centroids, you want the center point of each state, there is a table of center points in the National Gazetteer of the United States of America, US Concise Edition.  It is Table 3 on page xxvii.  Linda Zellmer

Hi All!

A patron has requested a list of state centroids.   Does anyone know of a
single source on the web or in a reference book that would list this
information rather than giving methods to calculate them?

Thank you in advance,
