Talk:Alburgh (town), Vermont

message: It appears from looking at the map that Alburgh would be connected to the U.S. by a stretch of U.S. territorial waters, thus making it debatable if it is really an exclave in the true sense of the word. Anyone care to comment on this? Hoplophile (talk) 08:10, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You have that backwards, it IS an exclave in the true, sense of the word. Territorial waters are purely a legal construct, not part of the science, if you will, of geography. So, technically, it is. Practically, it is not an exclave in the same way that Northwest Angle or Elm Point are, especially because a bridge traverses the bay separating it from the rest of Vermont. But, geographically speaking, it is significant. DavidSSabb (talk) 06:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

message: See http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20060419&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=60419002&SectionCat=&Template=printart for documentation that Alburgh did in fact change its name in April of 2006.
Is this really an exclave? I was browsing Google Earth, and it sure looks like US Highway 2 runs literally right down main street. I don't think this is in the same class of isolation as Point Roberts, WA or the Northwest Angle in Lake of the Woods, MI. Perhaps the verbiage on this page could clarify that (and the matching verbiage on the other two pages). I thought I'd ask here first as I've never been to Vermont...

message: For those of us unacquainted with New England local government: what's the difference between the town and Alburgh (village), Vermont? Does the town contain the village, or what? This ought to be explained. —Tamfang (talk) 00:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The village of Alburgh is incorporated, and a part of the town of Alburgh. Vermont has many town-and-village-with-the-same-name situations such as Alburgh; thus we have an article Village (Vermont). Nyttend (talk) 00:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Alburgh (village), Vermont ought to say so explicitly, then. I'll go there now ... —Tamfang (talk) 05:46, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  town and village 

message: In 2006, Alburg voters attending Town Meeting decided to revert the name to its original spelling of Alburgh. This does not mean that everything in the town changed. There are still businesses using the shorter spelling for legal reasons, and "named locations" within the town (e.g., Alburg Springs, East Alburg) which did not change; this would also apply to the body of land: officially changing the name of the town does not mean that the Alburg Tongue automatically became the Alburgh Tongue.--Mfwills (talk) 11:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
