Now you know those little towns and villages with people sometimes inhabit dressed with the black clothes and buckles? Usually as a part of thanksgiving memes? Like I think Puritans is what they're called back in early colonial days, what are the kind of names you'ld name villages/towns/cities in that era for that region?

That would be cheating and wouldn't involve Hatrack in my latest whim.

Next time you get a whim to ask these sorts of questions, may I recommend a different website . They're new.

I saw the title, and thought, "Hey, I live in Newengland - this might be interesting!"

But I can't spend time parsing the original post to obtain meaning out of it; taxes are due today.

Simple, look at a map of Old England. Pick a town.

EDIT: Voila!

EDIT: I usually never make that mistake

Do you want the name of an actual colony town or just something that sounds like it so you don't have to learn about a real place. If you are looking for the former, try "Plimouth".

If the lastter, do what Bokonon said. Most New England towns are names of places in England or named after a Native American tribe. The towns founded in that time still retain their names today. The ones that are really old are now the big cities. Like Boston.
