The annual conference of the Council of Geographic Names Authorities in the United States has operated under different names since its inception. In 1977 the tradition of an annual meeting began under the heading of the Intermountain States Geographic Names Conference. In 1979 the meeting name was changed to the Western States Geographic Names Conference, leading to the forming of the Western States Geographic Names Council (WSGNC) in 1982. In 1998 the WSGNC was reorganized to the Council of Geographic Names Authorities to accommodate the expanding role of the conference and establish the organization to include all State Geographic Names Authorities in the United States.
