New England town draft

edit

incorporating MCT's comments, at 10/17/06

edit

It would be great to track down the population in VT, NH, and ME that live in gores, unorganized townships, and other irregular non-town territories. Does anyone know how to access the detailed census information for minor civil divisions (MCD) (New England towns), or for unincorporated areas census designated places (CDP) (usually sections of a New England town), and compare to the total county populations, and and extract the unincorporated populations?

  • Essentially all territory of a New England state is divided into a towns or other statutory municipalities. Only extremely sparsely populated areas of the three northern New England states have land outside of incorporated municipal territory. Departing from one town implies entering another town or municipality. In most parts of New England, towns have irregular shape and size, and were not laid out on a grid.


  • Towns are municipal corporations, function as administrative divisions of the state, and have most powers that cities typically have in other states. Most towns are governed by a town meeting form of government.
  • Town territory is typically centered around a densely inhabited place, a town center usually with the same name as the town; the town typically encompases a much larger area than the town center and includes a mixture of settled and rural territory.
  • Since nearly all New England residents live within the boundaries of an incorporated municipality, residents receive most local services at the municipal level, and county governments are weak. In some states, county government has been abolished in whole or part.
  • Residents' civic identification is primarily their town as a whole, with few residents identifing primarily with a village or section of their town.
  • Other forms of municipalities besides towns exist in New England, most notably cities. Cities tend to be an extension of the statutory town concept; and often are former towns that adopted a city form of government as their population grew too large for effective town meeting decision-making. Other municipal forms based on the concept of a compact populated place, such as a village or borough, are uncommon and where one does exist, it remains legally dependant upon the parent town it is part of.

Doing maintainence on WP:RfD, I wind up creating many Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages. Lots of disambiguation pages. So many I have moved them all to a separate page!

Wikiphilosophy
I'm a big fan of citing sources, since this is the only way Wikipedia will come to be a respected source of information. An adequately sourced article seems to be the exception currently, not the rule. I support many of Worldtraveller's recommendations in this regard.

I do not typically watch the pages I edit, so I may not see questions left for me other places. If you disagree with a change I made or left a question for me on an article's talk page, please let me know and I'll take a look. Thanks!
