I really like doing the regional/state leagues and I imagine them starting up in the early to middle part of the 20th Century. I've left off the cities that have MLB teams, but I'm not against including them if it makes more sense. I struggle sometimes with which cities to include - I'd rather have iconic cities than go strictly by population. Burlington is pretty far down the list size-wise, but it seems like a league set in New England should have at least one team from Vermont for instance. This list was the original setup:

Northern League

Auburn-Lewiston
Augusta
Bangor
Burlington
Concord
Manchester
Nashua
Portland

Southern Division

Bridgeport
Hartford
Lowell
New Haven
Providence
Springfield
Stamford
Worcester - (Hearts)

The cities in the Southern Division are quite a bit more populous so maybe they should just be the minor league for the Northern Division. I also feel like I'm leaving off cities that should probably be included like Waterbury and Fall River. Any thoughts or opinions would be really welcome, whether it's a complete setup idea or just a nickname for one of the cities. Thank you in advance for any input.
