The "unincorporated" area of a township was designated for the sparsely populated, rural areas outside of villages.<BR/><BR/>Keep this structure hundreds of years later is a choice, and it creates Finneran woes and such. The unincorporated area needs to be divided into three villages, and Greenburgh township would just be like an umbrella organization for the nine villages.
