County A county is a municipal corporation, a subdivision of the state, created to perform state functions; a "regional" government. All counties are divided into cities, towns and Indian reservations. City A city is a unique governmental entity with its own special charter. Cities are not sub-divided, except into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Town A town is a municipal corporation and encompasses all territory within the state except that within cities or Indian reservations. Towns can be sub-divided into villages and hamlets. Village A village is a general purpose municipal corporation formed voluntarily by the residents of an area in one or more towns to provide themselves with municipal services. The pattern of village organization is similar to those of a city. A village is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Hamlet A hamlet is an unincorporated area in one or more towns that is governed at-large by the town(s) it is in. A hamlet is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Postal Zone "City" and "Town" A postal zone "City" and "Town" is an administrative district established by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the mail. Postal zone "City" and "Town" may not (but are encouraged to) conform to municipal or community borders. Thus, postal zone location does not always determine city, village or hamlet location. Please be aware: In many areas of New York State, the problem of non-conforming postal zones leads to a situation where the majority of places have a different community name in their mailing address than the community where that place is actually located.

Hello Everyone, I am new to the List. I have recently found out that my husband's great aunt and uncle Thomas and Mary Jane Cox (nee Eastwood), left Bolton, Lancashire, England in 1906 to live in Babylon, Long Island. They were both aged 29. I have found them on the 1910, 1920 and 1930 Censuses in Babylon with their children Emily Cox who was born in England abouot 1905, before they left and son Thomas and daughter Ethel who were born in Babylon. If anyone is researching this family or has any information about their descendants, I would be pleased if they would get in touch with me. Anne in Bolton, Lancashire, England/
