About Locories
A Locory is a place with a story, not just a pin on a map.
What counts as a Locory
A good Locory is a real, specific place that gives people a reason to stop, learn, remember, or explore further.
- Places connected to history, memory, culture, local significance, or a specific event.
- Places where something meaningful previously happened, even if there is no permanent object, sign, or attraction there now.
- Locations with enough context that another person can understand why the place matters.
- Places that can be pinned accurately and described clearly.
What makes a strong Locory submission
- A clear name that identifies the place instead of using vague titles.
- A useful description that explains what happened there or why the place is meaningful.
- An accurate map location.
- Relevant tags or categories that help people discover it.
- Enough detail to show the place is legitimate, specific, and worth keeping on the map.
What usually does not qualify
- A random place with no story, history, event, or meaningful context attached to it.
- A vague submission that does not explain what makes the place notable.
- A misleading, unverifiable, duplicate, or clearly inaccurate submission.
- A location that is too imprecise or not specific enough to stand on its own.
How to improve your submission
Before submitting, make sure the pin is correct, the title is specific, and the description explains why the place matters. The best Locories help someone understand the story, history, or context tied to that exact location, including past events that happened there even if the place itself is no longer marked by a permanent feature.
