In the late nineteenth century, camp meeting towns were a common feature of the American landscape. The boards of Methodist ministers and laity overseeing these towns adopted management and planning strategies drawn from movements for romantic suburbs, sanitary reform, and urban parks. The strategies these Methodists adopted represent a practice of vernacular planning crafted decades before the professionalization of the discipline in the United States. Analysis of the planning history of two sites—Ocean Grove, NJ, and Round Lake, NY—reveals factors shaping this development of Methodistic town planning.

在19世纪末，露营集镇是美国景观的共同特征。监督这些城镇的卫理公会部长和妇女委员会通过了针对浪漫郊区，卫生改革和城市公园运动的管理和规划策略。这些卫理公会主义者采用的策略代表了在美国本学科专业化之前数十年制定的乡土规划实践。对两个地点（新泽西州海洋格罗夫和纽约州朗德湖）的规划历史的分析揭示了影响方法论城镇规划发展的因素。
