All items were reviewed. The links were improved, corrections made, extra pages dealt with. BUT: Is the list complete and are all "villages" listed legitimately incorporated villages?
- There is no such thing as an unincorporated village in NYS. Of course, a hamlet could possibly be mislabeled as a village. Katonah seems to think it's a village. Poor thing, it's not even a CDP. Nelson Ricardo 06:14, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
Actually, there is such a thing as an unincorporated village in New York State. All of the former Incorporated Villages that were included into Greater New York City are noted today as Neighborhoods, along with the former Incorporated Cities that were included.
BTW, there never was a County of Yorkshire Yorkshire was a Shire of the British model, and it was established from the Patroonship the Dutch established in what today are Bronx and Westchester counties in 1645. The Shire was partitioned into Westchester and a piece of today's Putnam by way of Dutchess, and tacked onto the other lands that had been previously organized.
BTW, the five counties that became the Boroughs of Greater New York DO have functioning governments. The County governments were relabled as Borough Governments, and they continue as such to this day. The one office that was NOT re-labled are the five County Clerks. They still exist as originally established, and function as they have always functioned.

I'm confused as to what you mean by 'shire of the British model' since in Britain shire and county are synonyms. Morwen - Talk 01:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
