<div id="ygrps-yiv-1934113100">I&#39;ve driven through Nogales too, and I agree it has grown an awful <br/>
lot and does take a while to get through it completely. However the <br/>
official 2000 census of the population puts it at a mere 159,787 <br/>
according to INEGI, the federal agency that runs the census there. <br/>
Maybe they have some strange way of counting people because it seems <br/>
like a much larger city. But since it is an official count you could <br/>
use that number to fill in the hole on your table.<br/>

&gt; The population of Nogales, Sonora, so the mayor says, is somewhere <br/>
near one<br/>
&gt; million. This does not seem too far fetched if you have ever <br/>
visited the<br/>
&gt; place and driven through the entire community. From the border <br/>
southward it<br/>
&gt; takes well over 40 minutes to drive through, and it is populated by <br/>
huge<br/>
&gt; masses of people who have come from other parts of Mexico to work <br/>
in the<br/>
&gt; Maquiladoras. This is as with all, or at least nearly all, of the <br/>
US-Mexico<br/>
&gt; border towns, where the Mexican side is usually two or several <br/>
times larger<br/>
&gt; than its US counterpart.<br/>

&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; When a border splits a municipal area, the towns on either side <br/>
&gt; usually have different names. But sometimes they have the same <br/>
name. <br/>
&gt; As far as I can tell, this is purely a North American phenomenon, <br/>
but <br/>
&gt; if not, I&#39;m sure someone will tell me so.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Anyway, I&#39;ve compiled a list of these border towns that have the <br/>
same <br/>
&gt; name. I&#39;ve only included those where both towns are incorporated. <br/>
&gt; There&#39;s some others where one or both are not incorporated, such as <br/>
&gt; Marydel, MD/DE. And I&#39;m not sure about Flin Flon MB/SK. The large <br/>
&gt; part in MB is incorporated, but I can&#39;t find any evidence that the <br/>
&gt; small bit in SK is.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; The list is at the link below. If anyone knows of additions, please <br/>
&gt; let me know.<br/>
