Talk:Sudbury, Massachusetts

United Nations Claim
"Sudbury once bid (or not) to become the site for the headquarters of the United Nations.[citation needed]" I think that this should be deleated because of not only the unverifed source but also how it is worded. "bid (or not)" What is that supposed to mean? If you are saying that sudbury appied for the united nations to be housed in our town then we might as well just say that on ever town page. also I've looked extenively for a source and still have not found anything. If noone can give me a source in 48 hours then I will be deleting this as useless information. Pheifdog

Best source for how Sudbury and Concord were short-listed as a possible site for the United Nations is the book "Capital of the World" by Charlene Mires (2013). In these towns, as in many other locations under consideration, there was local opinion on both sides of the issue.David notMD (talk) 15:42, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

There is also:


 * Garfield, Curtis F (1999). Sudbury, 1890-1989 100 Years in the Life of a Town. Porcupine Enterprises. ISBN 0-9621976-3-7.

That references the UN claim (I added this reference ages ago, but it was removed) Tmshortt (talk) 05:25, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

South Sudbury
"South Sudbury, Massachusetts" redirects here. It would be nice to have an explanation and a map. -- Beland 23:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * South Sudbury is a section of the Town of Sudbury. It is not a separate town. In Massachusetts, sections of towns are rarely used. We think in terms of cities and towns. I was 15 years old before I learned the name of the section of the town I grew up in, and I lived in another town as a homeowner for 20 years before I learned the name of the section of that town.

South Sudbury is a term commonly used because there used to be more than one post office in the town. The largest was in South Sudbury, near the intersection of Concord Rd. and Rt. 20. There was also a small post office near Sudbury Center. It was necessary when addressing mail to specify which post office you wished the mail to go to. The Sudbury Center p.o. closed in the early 50s. South Sudbury is also used to distinguish the larger business district stretching along Rt. 20 from the smaller district of mostly town offices, churches, and schools at Sudbury Center, and the still smaller business district of North Sudbury. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauld91 (talk • contribs) 04:39, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

boy scouts
The boy scout segment seems purely like advertising. It's kind of pointless and to me just appears to be a plug for them. I'm removing it. --Seascic T/C 06:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Babe Ruth
I'd like to increase the article in respect to the great baseball player, and, my grandfather's cousin, George Hermann Ruth. DanoRuth (talk) 15:44, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

ZIP Code
While I love the trivia of Sudbury having the coveted 01776 ZIP code, one might think that Concord, Lexington or even Boston, would have received that honor. One can simply look at the list of ZIP codes in Massachusetts to see that they were (with minor exceptions) assigned in order of town name by region. See: Tmshortt (talk) 05:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
