The Unicorporated Communities of Connecticut

It’s an understatement to say the concepts of "city" and "town" are very complicated in Connecticut. You might think you’re in a town, but you might be wrong. Here is a list of places in Connecticut that are considered boroughs, villages, postal regions, districts, neighborhoods, and unincorporated communities.

The State Library of Connecticut tries its hand at explaining this strangeness below.

“Connecticut is currently divided into 169 ‘towns’ with distinct geographical boundaries. Each of these towns may contain incorporated cities or boroughs, as well as villages, post offices, and railroad depots without a distinct government. For example:
• Within the Town of Stonington, there is a borough of Stonington but the better-known Mystic is a village within Stonington without a separate governmental entity.
• Stafford Springs is a post office in the Town of Stafford.
• Winsted is a city within the Town of Winchester.
In other cases, the governments of once-incorporated cities and boroughs have subsequently been consolidated with the town they fall within. For example:
• The Town of Vernon and the City of Rockville consolidated on July 1, 1965
• The City of Willimantic consolidated with the Town of Windham July 1, 1983.
Connecticut never had strong county governments, and since 1960 the names and boundaries of its eight counties have exited only as geographical names used to define parts of the state.”

Note: There seem to be at least as many unrecognized regions as the number of recognized towns and cities. So, I’ll be adding to this for a while.

Here’s the list of recognized <a href="http://www.listsofbests.com/list/12448">towns and cities</a> in Connecticut.
