Feura Bush -- A hamlet in the southeast part of the town,
south of Unionville. In New York State, a hamlet is a populated
area within a town that is not part of a village. The term "hamlet"
is not defined under New York law (unlike cities, towns and
villages), but is often used in the state's statutes to refer to
well-known populated sections of towns that are not incorporated as
villages.
A hamlet has no legal status (except in the Adirondack
Park Agency's land-use classifications) and depends upon the town
that contains it for municipal services and government. A hamlet
could be described as the rural or suburban equivalent of a
neighborhood in a city or village. The area of a hamlet may not be
exactly defined and may simply be contained within the zip code of
its post office, or may be defined by its school or fire district.
Residents of a hamlet often identify themselves more closely with
the hamlet than with the town. Some hamlets proximate to urban
areas are sometimes continuous with their cities and appear to be
neighborhoods, but they still are under the control of the
town.
Okay, enough with the lessons…go find it!
