No - I meant that (incorporated) for both towns and
cities. I think the only difference lies in type of
government. Here in Pennsylvania, that's the
designation.
From typically largest to smallest:
Cities have mayors, and usually a council of a rep for
each ward (political division) of the city.
Boroughs have mayors as well, but there's some other
designation to differ them from cities.
Townships have managers, who report to a commission
(like a city council).
Villages are unincorporated and are usually located in
rural areas or don't provide their own services. I
think the point here is identification only.
There are also different classes of each type I
believe; it gets messy.
The main point was that each state has its own way of
designating different types of governing entities, and
usually the difference in government is what makes the
type unique.
