<<However in Upstate NY, counties are divided into towns. Cities are not in towns, but are in counties. Villages are in towns within counties. Some folks live in the town without being in a village, but others live in the village within the town within the county,>>
The country is surveyed into townships. In the Midwest and the West a township is 6 miles square, made up of 36 sections each 1 mile square. But the townships in the Eastern seaboard states are of uncertain area and shape, yet perform the same function. Township is often shortened to Town, and the government of such could be a Town Meeting. Villages would be located within townships (towns) as you have indicated.
