  • In the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, boroughs are a form of local government, a subdivision of a county. As of August 2005 there were 961 boroughs in the state. A borough is a self-governing municipal entity that is smaller than a city, usually a small town; almost all areas of Pennsylvania are governed either as boroughs, cities, Home Rule Municipalities, or townships (areas not incorporated as a borough, city, or Home Rule Municipality). The only exception to this is the town of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania which is recognized by state government publications as the "only" incorporated town. However, in 1975, McCandless Township, in Allegheny County adopted a home rule charter under the name "Town of McCandless", but remains classified as a township by the state government.
