NY State does not, as a rule, use townships as a designation for a political subdivision. One may speak of the Town of Rome which encompasses an area that in most states would be called a township. The City of Rome happens to be in the Town of Rome. There is a Town of Annsville, e.g. but no village or city of Annsville. In Annsville is located the village of Taberg. In the Town of Lee there is a small village called Lee Center. GMFreeman
