The archive links no published history to Ihite yet. Its neighbours’ histories are not shown here, because a link to another community is not a history of this one.
Named in other records
Histories that mention Ihite
These are published records whose own words name Ihite. A mention is not a history of Ihite, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Ihite. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.
