A section of the city of Woodstock, Ga. Most people that reside in Towne Lake consider themselves to be above everyone else, though in reality, they are simply snobby assholes only pretending to be rich.
Person 1: Hey want to hang out?
Person 2: Get away from me you hobo, I live in Towne Lake.
A few hours later person 2 is walking down the street when a big redneck SUV pulls up....
Person 1: There he is! Kick that pussy's ass!

Though I don't know about other p-towns, the one I live in is called that in an attempt to make it seem "ghetto" and not the suburbia it really is.

Excerpt on History from Southwest Daily News and historian:
“
ORIGIN: Oscar and Corrina Elender Portie married in 1884 and lived in Hackberry until Oscar died. Corrina moved to Sulphur in 1902 with her eight children. In 1908 Corrina moved her children to a home built for the family on what is now Crocker Street. Many of her children (Sim; Mag, then married to Amar Granger; Jake; Jeff) and Corrina’s brother, Simon Elender all built homes within a couple of blocks of one another. This area became known as “Portie Town,” encompassing the area of Sulphur north of West Burton St. and west of North Huntington St. (the old city hall). HISTORY: It has a proud history of hard working families, starting with the Portie’s. George Simeon Portie, Sr.’s old homestead is the patch of woods directly across the street from Jake Drost School for Exceptional Children. The land where LeBlanc Middle School and Jake Drost are located was donated by the family to the community for the schools. “There’s been a lot of negative things said about Portie Town, but I’d like people to know that George Simeon Portie, Sr., my grandfather, was the oldest of Corrina’s children and went to work at the Sulphur Mines to support a fatherless family. He bought property as he could and the area became known as Portie Town,” said Judye Portie Foy of Sulphur, the Portie family historian, so to speak
