Talk:Simsbury, Connecticut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Simsbury's Omitted History
This article reads like a straight up demographic write up. Somone needs to write more about the initial enormous size of Simsbury. That Simsbury initially encompassed a land area that makes up the present day towns of; Granby, East Granby, Canton, New Hartford, Barkhampstead, East Barkhampstead. I'm not a professional writer but this article is an inadquate contemporary or historicle discription of Simsbury, CT. It does not even talk about how the town came upon the name of Simsbury. It does not talk about the various subdivions into other municpal corporation. It does not address the current influence that Simsbury has on in Hartford County and in the area of the Farmington Valley. It does not reference King Philip's (Metacomet) war on New England and how Simsbury was rebuilt from the sacking and burning by King Philip.
It does not talk about the Ensign Bickford Company, maker of explosives. There is a lot to talk about when looking at Simsbury
Simsbury has a rich history and that needs to be discussed some more

[edit] Urban Sprawl Comment
"The population is enitirely due to urban sprawl in metropolitan Hartford"
This is an irresponsible comment to include in a encyclopedia article. I don't understand what is meant by the population is entirely due to urban sprawl (i.e. vs. 83% of the population). Leoleo0422 13:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
