For those who spent all - or the majority - of their years at least up until high school in one town or city, I would consider that their hometown. For those who moved often due to military parents or other reasons, I would say it is where they spent the most time during those years or the place with which they felt the most connection - the one that feels like "home."
I basically consider it where one grows up and feels the most connected to. My friend who didn't move to my hometown till high school was wondering what she should consider her hometown b/c she went to middle school in Indiana and elementary school in Philly. So I asked here what sports teams she roots for the most and since she roots for Bay Area sports teams over all other ones, that is where her hometown is. So I think many times just ask yourself what sports teams you root for the most and that would be a pretty good indication on what your hometown is.

I 100% totally agree with you. couldnt have said it better myself.

So, by this definition, my hometown is in New Jersey and yet I've never lived there. My favorite team in my favorite sport is the New Jersey Devils, yet I've NEVER lived there. Something is amiss in this argument.

That's why I said MANY times b/c I realize there are some people out there that root for sports teams in places they've never lived for whatever reason. Anymore hairs you'd like to split?
for me its where you were raised. I was born in Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh but grew up in Maryland in a little town. That little town is where i consider my hometown, not the place near Pittsburgh where i was born. Its where you have spend most of your childhood life and where most of your memories are of home

LOL I'm sure I could find some but I'm done for now.
It depends on the gist of the conversation. Beaver Falls, PA is my hometown. It's where I grew up and went to high school. Pittsburgh is my hometown. It's the metropolitan area that Beaver Falls is located in, and also where I went to college. Louisville, Colorado is my hometown now. It's where my kids were raised.
