Municipal Governments
Municipal governments in Delaware are cities, towns, and villages. Units of all three types are established by special acts of the general assembly. There are no differences between city, town, or village governments that would affect their classification for U.S. Census Bureau statistics. Municipalities with a population of 1,000 or more may operate under home-rule charters.
Township Governments
Delaware has no organized township governments.
