New London is a city in Waupaca County, Waupaca, in east-central Wisconsin, United States. It is situated on the Wolf River, about 30 miles from Green Bay, and has a population of about 7,000. The city is known for its abundance of outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, and hunting, and attracts a large number of visitors especially for the sturgeon in the Wolf River.
New London has a rich history, having been founded in the mid-1800s and once had a lumber industry as its dominant economy. Today, it has retained its small-town flavor while developing manufacturing and retail businesses. Community events such as the Sturgeon Fest are held annually, and educational centers such as the New London Public Museum showcase natural and cultural exhibits. The city's education system is part of the New London School District, which provides public school services and is conveniently located near U.S. Highway 45.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
