A town is not the primary meaning of Burg. And if you go for all 
possible meanings - it means castle and is too general to be useful. :-)

No. The name just indicates that the term used to have this meaning in 
the middle ages. I don't know a single example of a town referred to as 
"Burg" today and I am still waiting for you to proof your point.
