boroughs
Administrative urban areas
Boroughs are administrative divisions of a city or town.
In New York City, the five boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island—function as distinct regions within the larger city.
In Britain, a borough is a town or district with its own local government.
Alaska uses borough instead of county for its regional divisions.
