Typo in paragraph "17th century"?
editThis paragraph:
In the mid-17th century, St. Johnsbury became a minor manufacturing center, with the main products being scales — the platform scale was invented there by Thaddeus Fairbanks in 1830 — and maple syrup and related products. With the arrival of the railroad line from Boston to Montreal in the 1850s, St. Johnsbury grew quickly and was named the shire town (county seat) in 1856, replacing Danville. The oldest occupied residence in St. Johnsbury was built in 1801 and is located on Clarks Avenue.
..seems to be talking about the mid-19th century, not the 17th century (time period 1601-1700.) Could someone please correct this?--184.100.209.185 (talk) 21:43, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
