What city is located at 78W longitude and 0 latitude?

Answer 1

There's no city there. That point is at an elevation in excess of 15,000-ft on a

snow-capped mountain in Ecuador. It's about 26 miles south-southeast of the

town of Ibarra, and 37 miles east-northeast of the center of the capital at Quito.

Answer 2

"78 degrees west longitude" is the description of an infinite number of points

arranged along a line that joins the north and south poles, and is more than

12,000 miles long.

The line crosses literally hundreds of cities, towns, and villages, including . . .

• Lacorne, Quebec
• Grafton, Ontario
• LeRoy & Perry, NY
• Coudersport, McConnellsburg, & Huntingdon, PA
• Big Pool, MD
• Martinsburg, WV
• Culpeper, Louisa, & Blackstone, VA
• Goldsboro & Wallace, NC
• several islands in the Bahamas
• Camaguey, Cuba
• Montego Bay, Jamaica
• La Palma, Panama
• Ibarra & Puyo, Ecuador
• Corongo, Peru.

The line also crosses about 1,130 miles of Antarctica,

where there are no permanent cities.

Answer 3

Cities are generally not located at even numbered lat/long grids on the map; cities grow where transportation meets resources. This is why most older cities are on a river, and why most middle-aged cities are along a railroad, and newer cities grow up around freeway interchanges.

The coordinates 42N 78W appear to be a pasture, right on the boundary between New York State and Pennsylvania. The nearest village is Alma, NY, about 3 miles to the west.
