Corporate boundaries are the limits within which a city or town or
other jurisdiction exists as a juridicial person - that has rights and
responsibilities such as being subject to suit for actions it takes,
is estalbished with a constitution of some sort, has officials,
conducts transactions.
For instance, the incorporated city of Alexandria, Virginia is a
relatively small area compared to the area commonly called
"Alexandria" which is in fact in Arlington County.
The corporatye entity "City of Washington D.C.", which initially
comprised only a small part of the district within the diamond shaped
area formed by its borders was "disestablished by Congress", as I
recall, the moment Georgetown, District of Columbia ceased to exist,
also by Act of Congress. They were merged into a new incorporated
entity called the District of Columbia which is an incorporated city
that has exactly the same borders as the District that houses it.
"Washington D.C." is "only" now a postal address and an identifying
moniker for a tourist destination.
The borders of incorporated cities don't always have to be/aren't
always the same as the "city limits". Same goes for towns, villages,
parishes, countcies, etc.
