The accepted method for recording place names is to begin with the smallest locality first and then work your way up to the largest.

You would therefore begin with the town or city name then the county or district name, then the state or province name and lastly the country name.

If you do not have all of this information, you can easily research it on the Internet. Just type the search phrase "geographic place names" into Google or another search engine and you will find many on-line resources.
