How is it determined whether a place in Alabama is a city or a town? List of municipalities in Alabama says that it is determined by the population in 1970 or when it was incorporated, whether greater or less than 2,000. But I've seen some articles that say they changed from a town to a city later. Is the US Census Bureau profile (such as this) a valid reference for whether it's a city or a town?

In * Samson, Alabama a distinctive and innovative New Year's tradition has been established with the introduction of the Rooster Snuff Can drop. This one-of-a-kind event is held in tribute to Samson's renowned moniker, Snuff City. The origins of this nickname date back to the Great Depression when the T.S. Faulk and Company Store in downtown Samson famously acquired a whole boxcar filled with snuff. Due to a prolonged stay at the town depot, Samson earned its distinct title of Snuff City, U.S.A.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).

Not done for now:
Consider this sentence:"The state legislature has retained power over local governments by refusing to pass a constitutional amendment establishing home rule for counties, as recommended by the 1973 Alabama Constitutional Commission." LOL! WHAT was "recommended" by the commission?! Was it a home rule amendment or did they recommend against it? Either one is, obviously, possible (without going to some other page/source). This is one of those very unclear sentences which requires the reader to GUESS what the writer knows. Fix it. I suggest that the sentence be removed entirely and replaced by one describing some apparently ineffective event 50 YEARS AGO and another sentence noting that counties lack governing power because no such power is granted in the current State Constitution (which has been amended 700 times). As an aside, is the 1973 Commission notable? Will it be notable in another 50 years? Why? My actual suggestion is to remove and direct reference to it. And finally, most states require the CITIZENS to vote on constitutional amendments. The offending sentence suggest that only the Legislature need "pass" it, for it to become law. Is this true? Probably should say so explicitly. (and if it's not true then again the sentence needs work or removal).98.21.208.178 (talk) 04:49, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
