| A town is an urban settlement generally larger, and with greater variety of functions and services, than a village, but smaller, and with fewer services than a city. Some geographers further define a town as having 2,500 to 20,000 residents. Towns usually have local self government, and they may grow around specialized economic activities, such as mining or railroading. In some parts of the United States, a town or township is also a subdivision of a county. |
