That is interesting.
It is similar to Sault Ste. Marie, where the steel plant was in the separate town of Steelton, with along with company-built working-class neighbourhoods. The area is still called that but was long ago absorbed into the city. Big manufacturing and industrial companies weren't necessarily that keen on paying local taxes so they created their own towns in those days.
