Talk:Queen City

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "Queen City" is the largest city in a state excluding the capital. Lawrence, Mass. has also been called "Queen City."Elbs 14:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• I thought it was the largest city, when the largest city wasn't the capital. (i.e. if the largest city = the capital, then the state doesnt' have a "Queen city") Zanter 21:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I changed Francophone Quebecers to Francophone Canadians because I believe La Ville-Reine is also sometimes used by francophone New Brunswickers (Acadiens) and Franco-Ontariens Canking 16:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Queen City

A Queen City is the largest city in that state and is not the capital. If the Capital is the largest then you are correct in saying that the state has no Queen City. Lawrence is not a Queen City. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.158.143 (talk) 02:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wagga Wagga

I have a clear memory of a sign outside Wagga Railway Station (this is going back to the 60s) that said "Wagga Wagga - Queen City of the South". Google is unaware of it, however. This suggests the term "Queen City" isn't (or wasn't) confined to "capital cities of a province or state". -- JackofOz (talk) 17:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
