MUNICIPAL DISTRICT

A 'municipal district' is an administrative entity composed of a clearly defined territory and its population and commonly referring to a city, town, or village, or a small grouping of them.

★ In Canada Municipal Districts are Census subdivisions for the administration of rural areas including farmlands and unincorporated places such as hamlets. Municipal Districts are managed by elected councils, or in the case of special municipalities by councilors appointed by each province's Lieutenant-Governor.

★ In the Dominican Republic when a municipality consists of more then one urban center those beside the municipalities seat can be elevated to the status of a municipal district (''distrito municipal''). A municipal council (''Junta Municipal'') for such a municipal district is nominated by the municipal council of the municipality to which it belongs (Ley 3455 Titulo I Capitulo IV).^[1]
