List of Municipalities in Pennsylvania

Should this be merged with/replaced by List of municipalities in Pennsylvania? Mikehillman (talk) 19:01, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Pennsylvania, townships and cities are also incorporated municipalities. I think rather than sort through 2500 plus municipalities, it is useful to have a list of just the boroughs (and town). Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 19:22, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Change to this list, creation of new lists

This list previously had only those 68 towns (currently) that have home rule charters. Therefore, I took the list of townships at List of townships in Pennsylvania and added the townships to this list. It includes both home rule and all the other towns. In addition, I created the lists, List of boroughs in Pennsylvania and List of Home Rule Municipalities in Pennsylvania. The list of HRMs and boroughs came from this list. If you disagree with my changes, please feel free to revert them or modify them in any way you like. One thing that I do not like about the current list is that the lists of towns and boroughs are different. For example, the list of towns has a table, while the list of boroughs does not. Also, the list of towns gives the county the town is in, but the list of boroughs does not. I did not want to do further work on correcting this until I got feedback on whether this entire thing has been a disaster or not, although if counties are to be added to the borough list, I am not right for the job. If you want to contact me, you will need to leave a message on my talk page. -- Kjkolb (talk) 01:02, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

town vs. township

This title references "towns" but the article deals with "townships." In Pennsylvania these are two different things: townships are legal municipalities and towns are, perhaps, communities or census-designated places.

Avoy, PA in Wayne County

I don't see Avoy but am not sure where to put it amid your several separate listings. I came across it while doing some genealogy research. Fyi. Pnoble805 (talk) 05:19, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Avoy does not belong in any of the lists of municipalities (cities, boroughs, town, townships) or CDPs in PA. It is a populated place, but has no official boundaries. If there were a category for other Pennsylvania places, you could use that category and add the link to the List_of_places_in_Pennsylvania SV Resolution(Talk) 20:43, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Home Rule Municipalites removed from this list?

Should boroughs with home rule charters be removed from this list or not? I think that all boroughs, whether or not they have home rule charters, should be on this list simply because they are boroughs. For a list of boroughs which are also home rule municipalities, please see List_of_Pennsylvania_municipalities_and_counties_with_home_rule_charters,_optional_charters,_or_optional_plans#Home_rule_municipalities --SV Resolution(Talk) 11:37, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
