Origin of this page

[Please do not remove or archive this section, for attribution purposes]

This article was created from two former pages, Twin towns and Sister city.

The first of these contained both general information about town twinning (mostly from the European viewpoint) and a large list of twinning arrangements; since the majority of edits were to the list, rather than the information, it was moved to List of twin towns and sister cities - please see the history of that page prior to November 10, 2004 to identify the contributors of that part of the text.
The second page, Sister city, was then merged by hand with the informational text from this first; I realise now I should have moved it here, and done the merge the other way round, so at least that part of the history would be easily accessible, but unless/until an admin merges the histories, you have to access the history of that page separately, too.
The discussion page for the first page is now at Talk:List of twin towns and sister cities; like the page history, it mostly concerns the list part of the page. Talk:Sister city also retains a small amount of old discussion.

Apologies for any confusion caused during this reorganisation. - IMSoP 21:46, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

US oldest towns

" Liberal, Kansas was twinned with Olney, Buckinghamshire in 1950"

I was reading the Denver page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_cities_of_Denver,_Colorado and it says

"Brest, France is Denver's oldest sister city. In addition, it is the U.S.'s second-oldest." (Date given is 1948)

Can't identify the oldest sister city in the US. 98.127.119.21 (talk) 01:35, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
