That's true, but this is a proper noun of a place on the
National Register of Historic Places and there are no other articles at this title so there's not really much need to disambiguate by using Boston in the title.

May be just as well to keep the dab (Boston), in case there is another Leather District in the world. As long as the redirect exists, readers will not be inconvenienced, and it will help our search engine.

Support per
WP:NC. There is no other article that can take the title
Leather District and no evidence there even is another Leather District. We generally don't preemptively disambiguate. If another article needing the same title is ever written, this can easily be moved back. In the meantime, Titles should be brief without being ambiguous. Titles should make linking to the article simple. Leather District already redirects here so there's no reason not to rename.

Certainly not is, possibly was (although the source doesn't capitalize leather district). I don't doubt many places were called leather districts by some one some time. But were any of them notable enough for an article? And if so, would it displace this well-documented officially-named one as
primary use? If you google "leather district," Boston-related hits are truly overwhelming.

Support, and I would also support keeping the dab (Boston). "Boston, Massachusetts" is unnecessarily long and cumbersome.--

I already moved the page to
Leather District, Boston since
Boston, Massachusetts was redirected to
Boston a couple months ago, but I agree with the above comments that even the Boston disambiguation is not really necessary since this is a proper noun on the NRHP and there is no other notable places with this name, as
Leather District shows and as a Google search shows.

Support no disambiguation needed. If another "Leather District" turns up in the future and its usage becomes comparable to this one, then we can add a dab. But until then, the unqualified name is the simplest. --

"The Ladder Blocks are a series of city blocks located within Boston’s famous Downtown Crossing neighborhood and encompassing the historic Washington Street Theatre District. On the eastern edge of the Boston Common, north of Chinatown, and west of the Financial District, downtown Boston is a bustling hub for shoppers, residents, visitors, and workers. In and around the Ladder Blocks district are many of Boston’s most iconic and historic places like Old South Meeting House, the Granary Burying Ground, and the site of the Liberty Tree. The streets themselves that define the boundaries of the district are historically significant. Washington Street, once named Marlborough Street and one “rail” of the “ladder,” was once the main road connecting the Shawmut Peninsula to the mainland. Washington Street was Boston’s first thoroughfare and is thought of as the city's first Main Street. Tremont Street, the other "rail", sits adjacent to the Boston Commons and Park Street Station and has become another major thoroughfare. The streets regarded as the Ladder Blocks' "rungs" are: School, Bromfield, Winter, Temple Place, West, Avery, and Boylston."
The existence in Boston of both Leather District and Ladder District is confusing. The article should mention the Ladder District, and be clear that they are separate. It would also be good to include a map that outlines each of the two areas.-
