GeoPandas is an open source project to add support for geographic data to pandas objects. It
|
|
currently implements `GeoSeries` and `GeoDataFrame` types which are subclasses of
|
|
`pandas.Series` and `pandas.DataFrame` respectively. GeoPandas objects can act on
|
|
`shapely` geometry objects and perform geometric operations.
|
|
|
|
GeoPandas is a community-led project written, used and supported by a wide range of
|
|
people from all around of world of a large variety of backgrounds. Want to get involved
|
|
in the community? See our [community guidelines](community).
|
|
|
|
GeoPandas will always be 100% open source software, free for all to use and released
|
|
under the liberal terms of the BSD-3-Clause license.

## Project history
|
|
|
|
Kelsey Jordahl founded GeoPandas project in 2013 during the Scipy Conference and
|
|
released a version 0.1.0 in July 2014. In 2016, Joris Van den Bossche took the lead and
|
|
became the maintainer of the project. Since the beginning, GeoPandas is a BSD-licensed
|
|
open-source project supported by a [community of
|
|
contributors](https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/graphs/contributors) from around
|
|
the world and is now maintained by a [team](about/team) of core developers.
|
|
|
|
In 2020 GeoPandas became [NumFOCUS Affiliated
|
|
Project](https://numfocus.org/sponsored-projects/affiliated-projects) and received two
|
|
[Small Development Grants](https://numfocus.org/programs/sustainability) to support its
|
|
development.
