[edit] First planned community in the country?

... maybe in the county. The reference immediately preceding this statement refers to Brandermill as the first planned community in Chesterfield County. I'll change it to that, and if anybody thinks it should be dropped on the grounds of not being a significant enough distinction to be Wikipedia-worthy, I'd go along with that too. As far as "first in the country" is concerned, I first thought of Greenbelt, Maryland as a far more likely candidate although it was among a number of other WPA "planned community" projects in the 1930s. But then, looking at the entry on Planned community" the United States listing starts with St. Augustine, planned in 1565. brucemcdon – 23:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
