Boston Hub Myth Debunked as Geographic Center Idea
The United States geological survey dismisses Boston as the hub of the universe. It locates the national center near 50 degrees 60 minutes north, 98 degrees 46 minutes west in northern Kansas and notes population trends move west. Washington should be inland to better fit the center, with other candidates like St Louis and Denver considered for future centers. Alaska’s center is hard to pin, but near Fort Gibbons if islands are counted.
