Should have stopped at town?

State Street, Boston, in 1801.

“It was a very charming, comfortable old town — this Boston of uncrowded shops and untroubled self-respect, which, in 1822, reluctantly allowed itself to be made into a city.’’

—Mary Caroline Crawford (1874-1932), in Romantic Days in Old Boston
