First traffic circle in America?

Are you sure of this? Pierre L'Enfant sprinkled maybe a dozen circles into Washington DC during Jeffersonian times. If this article is correct on Columbus Circle being built in 1905 with no circle there before, something's wrong. IvyGold 02:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No responses, I chopped that reference out.

Here's L'Enfant's map of DC, circa 1802:

My bet is that traffic circles are sui generis. There's no way to determine which was the first in the USA.

Point from which distances to New York are measured

Someone else marked this fact as dubious, so I decided to google for it. The best I could find was this article from Travel and Leisure. The article was written in 2004, two years before this fact was added to Wikipedia, so it's definitely an earlier source. Also, [http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=218991 this forum thread] from 2005 quotes a NY Sun article that repeats the same claim. Unfortunately, I could not find an official source. 74.108.101.101 (talk) 04:39, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
