Talk:List of cities in Maine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If anybody out there can help me:

I was frustrated to see that the list of cities was missing some very very important cities in Maine, and I've added many as I think of them, by no means is this list yet complete. Then I realized that some of these weren't CITIES they were actually towns or villages. Under Maine law, a municipality is incoroporated with whatever "title" it wants (city, village, town, etc.) Should there be a seperate category for "List of Villages," "List of Towns" etc? Or should this be renamed "List of Muncipalities?"

This list of Maine's 22 cities seems to be complete now. Though there are some population centers which have the designation of village, those are only localities within an actual town, and have no governmental, or organization status. It's a courtesy title to reflect some localized identity within another town. The town of Sanford contains the Village of Springvale which has no separate legal status. The town of Rangeley contains the Village of Oquossoc which also has no separate legal status. The town of Mount Desert contains several population centers designated as villages, such as Northeast Harbor, none of which has any separate legal status distinct from the actual town of Mount Desert. I do think this page should have a direct link, and vice versa, to the page listing of Towns in Maine. Would somebody who knows how, please do that. JackME 05:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
