Attleborough City is the settlement along 123 between 1A and the split with Old Post Road, inside the town of Attleboro. The Post Road did not pass through the densest part of Attleboro. East Walpole is in Walpole, but it is a separate settlement and will hopefully one day have its own article.

and that may have given the impression that it was an auto trail. It was simply marked in New England as a red bannered (east-west) pole route. --

Looks like most maps don't show Attleborough City, so I've replaced it with South Attleboro, a bit to the south and also on the route. --

There are current roads in towns such as Amherst, NH in other states in the US called "Boston Post Road". Should there be any mention?
