Geez, Sparteye, you guys stole all our town names. Next thing you're gone tell me you got South Lyon there in Michigan.

Yes, a town is the equivalent of a township. You cannot be outside of a town in NYS (NYC may be an exception to this) Some towns have cities in them or some cities may even encompass several towns. Some towns will have villages (certain population required to count as a village) or hamlets (fewer people than a village) and some are just towns with no subcategories within them.

Some other classical names in my neck-o-the-woods; Rome, Romulus, Etna, Podunk, Cincinnatus... What, you say Podunk's not classical? Well, it is around here! Hmmph! (Hi, E)
