Talk:Wallingford, Connecticut

Opening comment
What is the difference between Wallingford and Wallingford Center, Connecticut? I see Wallingford Center on maps, yet I've never heard of it until recently. The article says that it's a census designated place. Why is it called Wallingford Center and not just Wallingford? Does it cover a different area? Is it a completely different place? Wallingford Center is the downtown area, although the exact boundaries I'm not sure of. Does anyone know if Wallingford is officially a city or a town. Wiki titles it a city, but many other references label it as a town.

Perhaps it's a consolidated city-town? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.13.69.86 (talk) 23:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Wallingford is a town and not a city

I've lived there so far my entire life (I am 43) and I never really understood the "Wallingford Center" designation or where its come from as outlined http://www.city-data.com/city/Wallingford-Center-Connecticut.html.

Most people that live in Wallingford are totally unaware of the designation.

Yalesville and Tracy are subsections of the town and most people are familiar with those designations than "Wallingford Center" — Preceding unsigned comment added by GUNDERSTONE (talk • contribs) 18:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
