What's difference between a City, Town, and a Village?

Answer 1

Legally speaking, usually a "city" is incorporated, which means that it is recognized as a local self governing unit by the state; that is, it is independent of the county that it is in. An "unincorporated" town is usually considered part of the county that it is in, and is still governed by the rules of that county.

These are not hard and fast rules, since the terms "city" "town", and "village" have no set in stone legal definitions.

Answer 2

A Village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet, but smaller than a town or city.

A town is a community of people ranging from a few hundred to several thousands, although it may be applied loosely even to huge metropolitan areas. Generally, a "town" is thought of as larger than a village but smaller than a "city."

A City is an urban are that is differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status. When people refer to cities, they generally include the suburbs. In most parts of the world, cities are generally substantial and nearly always have an urban core, but in the United States many incorporated areas which have a very modest population, or a suburban or even mostly rural character, are designated as cities

Answer 3

The city is the largest, the town can be a little far from the city, but still a part of it. and a village is much smaller than a city, mostly located outside the cities and in the roads!

Answer 4

Well, if I'd base it on my brain, I guess Among the only difference is that the city is the largest and a village is the smallest and villages are only in rural places not in urbans and suburbans.

Answer 5

"There are no official definitions of city, town, village, hamlet, neighborhood, etc. All named entities with human habitation are classified as Populated Place, including incorporated places (20 percent of the Nation's communities), unincorporated places (the majority), housing developments not yet incorporated, and neighborhoods within incorporated places."

Answer 6

its in the population and the type of buildings there.
Village - small population, small building
Town - bigger building, like few stores, more people
City - tall building, lots of stories and stores, large population
