michael, good intuition that there might be more circular towns in Georgia
USA!
Circular city limits in Georgia:
Leslie
De Soto
Plains
Smithville (incomplete circle)
Parrott
Coleman
Shellman
Dawson
Bronwood
Sasser
Leesbirg
Warwick
Arabi (has rectangle attached)
Rebecca
Jacksonville
Denton
Surrency
Midway
Darien (partial)
Screven
Braxton
Ambrose
Ty Ty
Enigma
Willacoochee
...
ok, I'm getting bired, and have covered less than half of the state, just
from the latitude of Plains to the latitude of Willacoochee . Let's just
say that circular city limits are COMMON in Georgia!!
Also, according to
http://tiger.census.gov/, the western boundary of
Richland, GA, is very strange, perhaps gerrymandered to pick up tax base?
