User:Ɱ/List of incorporated places in New York's Hudson Valley
< User:Ɱ
There are three types of incorporated municipalities in the Hudson Valley in the U.S. state of New York: city, town, and village. In the state of New York all the land in a county is in a city, town, or Indian Reservation;[1] while villages are within towns and may cross town or county lines. There are 11 counties in the Hudson Valley comprising 13 cities, 143 towns, and 62 villages. The counties are Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester. The village of Green Island is coterminous with the town of the same name. [2] Ballston Spa, Broadalbin, Cambridge, Chatham, Fort Plain, Greenwich, Nassau, and Valley Falls are villages that cross into two towns.[3]
Ten of the eleven counties of the Hudson Valley make up two Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) and three Micropolitan Statistical Areas (µSA), which those five statistical areas then make up the Albany-Schenectady-Amsterdam Combined Statistical Area. Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Schoharie counties make up the Albany-Schenectady-Troy MSA; while Warren and Washington counties are the constituent counties of the Glens Falls MSA. Fulton County is the sole county in the Gloversville µSA, Montgomery County is the Amsterdam µSA, and Columbia County is the Hudson µSA. Greene County is not in any CSA, MSA, or µSA.
