I am new to this so I am confused because I download the geonames file for the US and there seem to be only 39 states represented in the file. I need geonames for Colorado and this is one of the missing states. Can anyone help me with this?

US.zip is 52M
http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/US.zip

extracted US.txt is 250M

A such big file is truncated when you try to open it in a basic editor (notepad, openoffice scalc, etc)

You have to import the file in a local sql database
or create a program to extract only colorado records.

See readme.txt for file structure.
