Ooh, I get it. Thant's kind of how it is in Jersey, where I live in Gloucester County. We have little areas, or villages I guess you call it, inside the township. For instance, Glendora is in (and part of) Gloucester Township and Tunersville is in (and part of) Washington Twp. They are not towns by themselves, but they have their own post offices and zip codes. We have boros too, like Runnemede, but no township is involved. Kind of confusing. I think I need a good map of Montgomery County so I can keep all this stuff straight. Thanks for the info. > From: "William A.
