>How did small towns in the past get created People in the 1800s and before didn't worry much about medical services. When they got sick, they suffered with it, or died. The state-of-the-art with medicine at the time could be handled by one doctor. Expectations these days are a lot higher. >I wonder what was the last town in a america to be established? That's a good question, and probably impossible to answer without some qualifiers. I'm sure some new "towns" have been created in the recent past which were really nothing more than an incorporation of a previously-unincorporated area immediately outside another municipality, but that's altogether different from establishing an all-new town far from any other settlement, as was probably common in the 1800s expansion westward.
