Municipal corporation:
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia:A
municipal corporation is the legal term for a
local governing body, including (but not necessarily limited to)
cities,
counties,
towns,
townships,
charter townships,
villages, and
boroughs. Municipal incorporation occurs when such
municipalities become self-governing entities under the laws of the
state or province in which they are located. Often, this event is marked by
the award or declaration of a
municipal charter. With the notable exception of the
City of London Corporation, the term has fallen out of favour in the
United Kingdom, but the concept remains central to
local government in the United Kingdom.
