Find city names from coordinates (latitudes and longitudes)
Find and identify city name and other geographical information such as province or state, (for Canada Census Division, Census Sub-Division, Metropolitan Area, etc.) based coordinates or latitudes and longitudes data.
Applying reverse-geocoding free of charge using an appropriate shapefile (including polygons data) in Python. Let's say you have some geographical coordinates in your data (latitudes and longitudes). The questions is how to identify the city name, province name or other geographical levels depending on which country or regions we are looking at. This creates a nice consistent location identification in your data. In this tutorial, I use the shapefile polygons from Statistics Canada - Census boundary files.
In the case of Canada and this shapefile, there are geographical information related to Census Division, Census SubDivision, Census Metropolitan Area, Economic Region, Province, among some other levels. We are going to identify all these information using coordinates data.
