02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Aguascalientes City is GeoNames ID 4019233. Its recorded administrative path is Aguascalientes → Mexico, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Aguascalientes occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-04-14; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Aguascalientes City's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly.
