The same place as the pre-1900 town? edit
Is this essentially the same place as the Corporate Town of Semaphore? (The geographical coordinates appear to be approximately the same.) Should the information about the pre-1900 town just be merged into this article as part of the history? — BarrelProof (talk) 23:36, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Supported Seems to me to be just a bit more early history for this article. Merge Corporate Town of Semaphore into this article and leave a redirect behind. Aoziwe (talk) 05:25, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose LGA ≠ suburb. Corporate Town of Semaphore could be improved with a map showing its boundaries. Doug butler (talk) 20:18, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- If it was a current LGA I would totally agree with you. However, it ceased to be an LGA 120 years ago? And was only an LGA for 17 year or so. Surely now it should be part of the various histories of the current LGAs / and suburbs it has been carved up into ? Not sure if it was ever that notable, for example there are not many references here. Aoziwe (talk) 10:03, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
- It had mayors, so was an LGA. As for its extent, a Trove search here indicates it incorporated the township of Staplehurst, whatever that may have been, and was divided into wards, the names of many being familiar to present-day residents: Largs, Glanville and Exeter; also Scarborough and Clairville, less so.
