Town, village, or other local government unit, formed by municipal charter from the state as a municipal corporation.[10] In a state law context, some U.S. state codes define “municipality” more widely, from the state itself to any political subdivisions given jurisdiction over an area that may include multiple populated places and unpopulated places.
