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 designated 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 unknown.

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.
