   Syn: Village, Hamlet, Town, City.

   Usage: In England, a hamlet denotes a collection of houses,
          too small to have a parish church. A village has a
          church, but no market. A town has both a market and a
          church or churches. A city is, in the legal sense, an
          incorporated borough town, which is, or has been, the
          place of a bishop's see. In the United States these
          distinctions do not hold.
          [1913 Webster]
