	St. George, Vermont, New England, USA
		As with so many other towns, St. George was described in the grant in terms of the boundaries of pre-existing towns, except that there wasn't really enough land left to make up a proper sized town.
		George is so small that many think it was originally a gore, but it was, in fact, granted as a town.
		Old George was definitely in a huff over the way Wentworth was a) handing out grants left and right in conflict with the New York colony's claim to the lands, and b) not requiring the grantees pay taxes to the Crown.

		Sometimes each town had its own busk; sometimes several towns united to hold one in common.

	Scottish Country Dance
		The new dancing fashions, quadrilles, polkas, waltzes and galops, spreading to Scotland from continental Europe and England, are first noticed in the high society functions and public dances of the towns and villages.
		New dances of this type, designed to go with Scots folk-tunes, were invented, and experimented with at aristocratic country-house parties; indeed, it is likely that many of the great houses had their individual dancing traditions between 1730 and 1780.
		Dancing was still enjoyed upon the slightest excuse as of old, at weddings, fireside ceilidhs, Beltane, New Year, or simply on dry moonlight nights at some favourite part of the road or green.
