This page needs more info. I had to write a report on this topic and couldn't find any information on it. I was kind of depending on wikipedia to give me some info but this is what i found--Lord nukka (talk) 20:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well then, you sound like just the person to do this article justice! Come on, don't be shy. If you find some examples of boomtowns that aren't in the United States, you can help make this article less US-centric and more "world-view".--Metron4 (talk) 23:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The list of examples is too long. The list should not be used for every town that experienced a period of prosperity, but only for places that experienced such rapid growth that, for example, newcomers had to live in tents or sleep in the open air. There are a number of places, such as Aberdeen and Detroit that may not qualify as boomtowns in any but the loosest sense. Unless someone objects, I'd like to start weeding out questionable towns on the list - those whose wiki articles do not mention boomtown conditions. Plazak (talk) 19:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
