What Is The Difference Between City, Town And Village?

Cities have a population of over 5000, a town 2500-4999, a village has under 2499 and therefore must have what is called a council of alderman. It is based mostly on population, not churches or other landmarks.

Most of these answers are wrong...We could sit here and list the different characteristics of cities, towns, and villages all day, but that doesn't tell anybody why they are officially called cities, towns, or villages. Whether a community is officially known as a town, village, or city all has to do with which of those three types (city, town, village) of local government the community adopts. It is not solely based on population, but the decision for which type of government is most appropriate for the community is unofficially based on population and which commercial industry (if any at all) would be best suited to fuel the local economy. Adoption of a new type of government can lead to drastic changes in the layout of the community, leading to the differences that are apparently seen. Take for example urban sprawl. The grid system of roads that develops after the adoption of city government is due to the government's increased control over the community and is an effort to fuel growth of white collar and mass-production industries while at the same time keeping the community organized and more easily manageable. A city government also has more responsibility when it comes to upkeep of the community. Bottom line: The difference is type of government.

The difference is of population and civic amenities and services provided.
If a village has all basic civic amenities, than it is made town and if the town have other things and services like colleges, universities, industries, political offices, their market size, their business turnover and etc., than it is given the name of city.
If it proceeds and the population and services and centers or offices increases than it falls in big cities and than metros.

Many towns and villages today are nothing more than suburbs, however some do exist. By definition cities have larger populations than towns which are larger than vilages. Cities are 10,000 to 30,000 people or more. Villages typically have historic significance and are either "former villages" which may have been the founding area of a larger city of which it is now one part. Distinct villages today retain their status for marketing or identity purposes or even to avoid higher tax rates. Some have building/architecture restrictions more stringent than larger communities. The definition of a town varies widely but is about 1,000 up to 10,000 people.

Depending on the number of inhabitants, human settlements are usually classified as cities, towns or villages. Cities are generally larger and more densely populated than towns and have industrial, commercial and residential areas. Most cities also perform administrative functions. A town in smaller than a city but larger than village, it has smaller areas as a market, commercial and administrative hubs for the surrounding countryside and villages. Their population is generally smaller than the cities.

Location and history of a place also plays a part in it being designated as a City or a Town.
In densely populated countries like India and China, many towns are larger than the state and national capitals of many sparsely populated countries.Villages are small rural settlements largely dependent on agriculture, tourism or a specialized skill.
