Calling these cities neighborhoods is an unofficial term. They are districts. The only reason why the terminology neighborhoods went viral is because it is an UNOFFICIAL TERM to serve as an organizing mechanism. As stated "Boston's diverse neighborhoods serve as a political and cultural organizing mechanism. The City of Boston's Office of Neighborhood Services has designated 23 Neighborhoods in the city”. “ Additionally, The Boston Redevelopment Authority,[2] the City Parking Clerk,[3] and the City's Department of Neighborhood Development[4] have also designated their own neighborhoods. There are 14 neighborhoods in Dorchester...Uphams Corner Harbor Point Jones Hill Savin Hill Meeting House Hill Mount Bowdoin Fields Corner Franklin Field Codman Square Peabody Square Ashmont Adams village Cedar Gove Lower Mills, so how can a neighborhood contain neighborhoods? That is completely ludicrous. 8. In the book "Boston, A Guide Book" by Edwin Monroe Bacon written about 70 years ago, it stated “These annexed municipalities retain their names with the term “District” added to each”.  So is this why the business in the annexed towns list the name of the annexed city and state? If you write a residence or business in Back Bay, North End or any neighborhood in Boston Proper or District 1A, no one writes on the envelope Back Bay MA, North End MA and so on. You write the street or avenue and Boston MA. If you write a business or residence in Dorchester or any of the other annexed towns, you write Dorchester MA on the envelope, not Boston. The business in the annexed towns list the name of the annexed city and state, Roxbury MA, Jamaica Plain MA. etc…there is a pattern. I can provide thousands of businesses that list Roxbury MA, Jamaica Plain MA, Dorchester MA, thousands of businesses would not be making the same mistake... as we ALWAYS list city and state, not neighborhood ...skip the city, and then put the state. Even on a GPS system, this is what it says on the Hilton Boston Bayside Website which is in Dorchester & I quote. "**When using a GPS, please enter “Dorchester" as the city for the most accurate turn-by-turn directions to our property** So it is listing Dorchester as a city. But they are officially Districts as stated In the book "Boston, A Guide Book" by Edwin Monroe Bacon. These Boston districts are equal tot the Boroughs of NYC.
