Talk:Newington, Connecticut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While the term CDP is technically correct when referring to the census data, many residents of Newington and the surrounding areas would say that Newington is a "town". The external link reflects this, and Newington has a "Town Council" government. In Connecticut, counties are of very limited importance, and so towns and cities are effectively the only layer of organization between the State of Connecticut and individual households. As such, additions to this article (for example, discussing local schools) should probably refer to the "town". Kime1R 13:19, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
