^Right. Ohio has pretty strict definitions for such things, as I'm sure many states do. There, any incorporated place with less than 5,000 residents is considered a village.
A very wealthy, 'backcountry' type of suburb of Cincinnati called Indian Hill actually had a somewhat funny experience with the Ohio system of categorizing municipalities. Indian Hill always made it a point to emphasize that they were a village, as many villages in Ohio do. I guess it feels tonier or something. So they had The Village of Indian Hill on all their signs, municipal buildings, etc. Well, a few years back they passed the 5,000 resident mark, so they officially became the City of Indian Hill. This caused the locals to freak out, as the last thing this quasi-rural, fancy place wanted to be called was a
city. So they legally changed the name of the municipality to "The Village of Indian Hill". So, they are now legally known as The City of The Village of Indian Hill.
