Attleborough City

Where is Attleborough City? What city or town is it in? Attleboro is on the state line, so if it the Post Road passed west of Attleboro, it was still in Rhode Island. Similarly, why is East Walpole, Massachusetts, a red link, better than East Walpole, Massachusetts? Is East Walpole not in Walpole? If not, what city or town is it in?

Attleborough City is the settlement along 123 between 1A and the split with Old Post Road, inside the town of Attleboro. The Post Road did not pass through the densest part of Attleboro. East Walpole is in Walpole, but it is a separate settlement and will hopefully one day have its own article. --SPUI (talk) 07:52, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like most maps don't show Attleborough City, so I've replaced it with South Attleboro, a bit to the south and also on the route. --SPUI (talk) 08:16, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A National Auto Trail?

Someone summarily deleted the following text. If this text is not in error, it should be returned to the article. Wetman (talk) 11:19, 28 December 2007 (UTC): In the 1910s and 1920s, the Lower Post Road alignment (and realignments made to the route) was a National Auto Trail known as the Boston Post Road. [reply]

My understanding is that there was no Trail Association that managed the Boston Post Road and it also did not have any special pole markers, so in that sense it is not technically an auto trail. However, many automobile guidebooks do refer to the Lower Post Road, at least, as the "Boston Post Road" and that may have given the impression that it was an auto trail. It was simply marked in New England as a red bannered (east-west) pole route. --Polaron | Talk 13:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
