Town or city close to the boundary between two countries, states or regions
This article is about the type of settlement. For other uses, see
Bordertown .
A border town is a town or city close to the boundary between two countries , states , or regions. Usually the term implies that the nearness to the border is one of the things the place is most famous for. With close proximities to a different country, diverse cultural traditions can have certain influence to the place. Border towns can have highly cosmopolitan communities, a feature they share with port cities , as traveling and trading often go through the town. They can also be flashpoints for international conflicts , especially when the two countries have territorial disputes .
