B607 said:History lesson for the day:
Before the Revolutionary War, we were British subjects and the towns often ended on "boro" or "borough". After we defeated the British (twice) with the help of the French, many towns and cities were renamed with the French "ville" suffix in honor of the support we got from France. In New England, where there were still hardcore British patriots, you won't see many "ville's". They kept their British "borough's". Gary
Interesting, you taught an old guy something he didn't know. Thanks!
