DIVIDED COUNTIES outside those making up the City of New York:

The following listing of the Minor Civil Divisions (also known as "County Subdivisions") included in each Congressional District of which the so-called DIVIDED COUNTIES (outside the City of New York) are a part contains references to the Towns and the Cities only. There are two types of Municipality in New York State outside of the City of New York: the City and the Village- but, while the City is administratively and governmentally separate from any Town, the Village remains a part of its Town and, thus, is itself a further subdivision of the Town; therefore, Villages- unlike Cities and Towns- do not constitute Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions of the first order in the State of New York and, thus, no Villages are noted in this listing:
