The small town was Appomattox, Virginia, but the towndidn't agree to anything. The two generals agreed to meet in the courthouse there for the signing of the surrender that ended the Civil War. The town was just the meeting place.

Although all Confederate forces had not yet surrendered, Lee's surrender, for all practical purposes was the end of the Civil War. Yes, Jefferson Davis still had hope, however, with the Army of Northern Virginia now in surrender, the war was over.

By all measures the small bit of fighting ended in May of 1865.

It wasn't a town.

More like a hamlet - Appomattox Court House.
