Gilbert the largest town in the US? Is this semantics or vandalism? Brian Rock 02:33, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Semantics; largest area incorporated as a town, as opposed to a city. Brad Jones 03:52, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well, isn't it more complicated than that? Look at, e.g. Town of Hempstead, New York; North Hempstead, New York. Obviously, New York towns are not municipalities, but are more like sub-counties. But the issue seems awkward, doesn't it? john k 03:49, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hempstead is not a separately incorporated area listed in the census listing. Given the subject, I would consider the census listing definitive, but I will readily admit to personal bias. -- Kazrak 00:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

it is the biggest town, i lived there, it was IMHO not the best town in the world. just saying.-bobafett12
