厄，我是一个比较较真的人...
读了下面附录的三篇文字，我更尊重并同意如下看法：
"The township was named Novi when it was organized in 1832 from Farmington
Township. The name was offered by resident Dr. J. C. Emery, at the
suggestion of his wife. Residents were reportedly looking for a shorter name
than Farmington."
"Although legend has it that Novi got its name from being the sixth stop/
gate/toll or mail drop along a rail line or road, these stories are untrue.
Novi was incorporated into a town and named in 1830. The toll road that ran
thru Novi was not built until 22 years after Novi was named, and the
railroad did not come thru Novi until 41 years later.
But don't let go of the legend just yet! A good legend is a part of a good
city......"

发帖数: 3857 | 4 看了这段描述，只是纪录了一个时间上的先后，Novi一词如何来的还是没有讲明白。
它是讲Railway #6 mail stop比Novi City成立得晚，没有讲明的是在Railway没有以前
，有没有一个马车的#6 mail stop. 我想Mail Stop很早就应该有了，而且应该是一站
接一站的。 | a*o
