An instance of evental locative status is the collective ascription to an event of a formal association to a geographic place. The substance of the locative status is the communal attribution of a defined association type between the desginated event and place. As opposed to connections created between events and places through their passage through space and time, e.g.: the place of production being a property of the production event, evental locative statuses are created de jure rather than de facto, and create a socially recognized connection between an event and a location regardless the real spatiotemporal history of that event, known or unkown.

Instances of evental locative status are recognizable through evidence of community members adopting the intentional stance of so-recognizing this status, as observable from direct witnesses, through the reports of competent observers or through evidence of a declarative act initiating this status.

Instances of evental locative status may come to be through a formal process such as a declarative act of such definition, or may have arisen through habit, fiat or be of unknown origin. Instances of evental locative status may end either though a formal process, such as a new declarative act, or may simply fade out of use, be eliminated by fiat or be of unknown reason.
