Peter's Colony → Peters Colony – Most secondary sources that I have seen, including those cited in the article, refer to this area as "Peters Colony," with no apostrophe. There are some that use the form with an apostrophe, however. (See, e.g., , , and ). My guess is that "Peters Colony" is probably the more common name. But I think there should be a discussion about what title our article should have given the inconsistency in the sources.

- Comment: Apparently this was named after someone with the surname "Peters", not "Peter". So the possessive form would be "Peters' " or "Peters's" (MOS:'S), not "Peter's". — BarrelProof (talk) 23:46, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- Support. Ngrams appear to corroborate the nominator's claim that "Peters Colony" is the WP:COMMONNAME. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:52, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
