I'm not disagreeing with you, but people do refer to them, & somehow even measure them, as points! I'm sure that you have the same situation in your country but an e.g. is my State capital, Brisbane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane, which covers an area of 15842 km2, but is still apparently found exactly at: Location - 732 km (455 mi) N of Sydney <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney>[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane#cite_note-3> - 945 km (587 mi) NNE of Canberra <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canberra>[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane#cite_note-4> - 1,374 km (854 mi) NNE of Melbourne <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne>[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane#cite_note-5> - 1,600 km (994 mi) NE of Adelaide <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide>[6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane#cite_note-6> - 3,604 km (2,239 mi) NE of Perth <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth> [7] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane#cite_note-7> The Dept of Main Roads also agrees that there is a defined point known as Brisbane! https://goo.gl/images/FbTLCt (I believe that, once upon a time, Main Roads measurements were taken to the Post Office as being the centre of each town?) OSM also shows it at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/-27.4917/153.0325, which has the City tag located in / on the centre of Brisbane City Hall. Thanks Graeme
