Talk:Danville, California

message: I realize that it was referenced everywhere as a "city" in the article but according to the US census bureau its a town.  So I changed the remaining references.  If anyone can find where the gov says its a city - I'll change em back --ShakataGaNai 19:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that California does not have a form of government called a "town". Danville is an incorporated municipality, which would normally be called a city. However since Danville incorporated after many decades as an unincorporated "town", it kept that designation. So, for categorization and other purposes it should be treated as a city, but it should be referred to as a town of Danville.  Is that sensible? -Will Beback 23:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thats fine and originally all the labels on the page were city (but slowly changed by people).  I went to the census page above and it specifically says Town.  I'm gonna see if I can find anything from california or danville's pages that are specific to if its technically a city or a town.  --ShakataGaNai 00:08, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The most official info I found was the charter (articles of incorporation) . There it's called both a town and a municipality. The country sheriff lists Danville among its "contract cities". -Will Beback 00:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder if danville even knows.  If you look at the staff directory  they mention "town manager" and "city clerk".  Oh well.  Purely in the intrest of finding out the "offical" answer - I sent an email off to the previously mentioned city clerk.  --ShakataGaNai 00:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The city clerk wrote me back (very nice person).  Short form: 1982 city was incorporated as "City of Danville". 1986 Town council officially designated danville as a Town.  I think the article should refer initially danville as a city, and note that in 1986 it desegnated itself "town of...".   But before that happens I have to find proof otherwise I'll be violating NOR Policy.  (Oh and I found this small bit about the history  ).  --ShakataGaNai 06:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your good research digging. I guess it's a city that calls itself a town. We can certainly call it a municipality. Cheers, -Will Beback 08:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to California law, there is no legal distinction between a city and a town (unlike many other US states, especially on the East Coast). The incorporated community can call themselves by either designation. BlankVerse 03:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I realize that we let this die long ago, but I actually found "proof" -> Danville Municipal Code 1-10.1 .  I ref'd it into the article already.  --ShakataGaNai (talk) 06:01, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The article calls Diablo a "subdivision of Danville".  Yet the Diablo article says that it's near Danville, not in it.  Does anyone know whether Diablo is in Danville or just near it? - Walkiped (T | C) 03:28, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To the best of my knowledge (and I could be wrong, but I've lived in the area for the last 20 years) Diablo and Blackhawk are both technically still in Danville itself.  But, both have separate zip codes from Danville itself.  Danville = 94526, Blackhawk = 94506, Diablo = 94528.  If you want to check,  goto http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown.jsp and punch in Danville.  It will return 94526 & 94506 (94528, Diablo, is just PO Boxes).  --ShakataGaNai 06:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Okay, do you have any suggestions for how this article might be improved? Or maybe you could try actually doing something to bring about the change you want to see instead of just complaining about it. JThomasAnthropologist (talk) 22:27, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
