The Vermont Towns and Cities lookup site will provide you more info on the town including showing you where it is located, contact information and the town's web site.
Incorporated Villages
Additionally, many incorporated towns have incorporated villages or cities within their limits. For example, a village may exist in the center of a town where there are water and sewer services and residents there are taxed separately for those services. Note:
- In a few cases a town may have more than one incorporated village within its boundaries
- Whilst most often the name of the town and village are the same that is not always the case:
- 17 incorporated villages have the same name as the town
- 17 incorporated villages have unique names
Unincorporated Villages
Many towns have unincorporated villages. While the names may be widely known and may even be used for USPS addressing these rarely have any delineation as to where the villages start and end and therefore are of reduced value for use with Waze.
Vermont USPS Postal Addresses
Vermont has a large number of USPS city names that do not correspond to the names of Vermont's incorporated places. More importantly, in many places in Vermont USPS addresses do not align with municipal boundaries. This makes it extremely difficult to use USPS addresses in Waze without creating city smudge and duplicate address problems.
WME Primary City Name
For all segments in Vermont the Primary City Name should be one of the 251 places or 17 unique villages that are on the list (TO BE SUPPLIED) below. These are also displayed by the WME Cities Overlay script.
WME Alternate City Name
Work is underway to consider adding one or more alternate city names for each primary name. For example:
- In an incorporated village within a town, adding the parent town's name as an alternate for segments in the village
- Adding a USPS name if it can be confirmed where the USPS delivery boundary is for that name
Alternate names will be added to the table below.
2019 WME Cleanup
In the spring of 2019 a number of editors participated in a project where all segments and places were updated to ensure their cities were set to one of the accepted VT city names noted above.
CDP and Other Names
Census Designated Places and other community names should not be used in the city field for map features. If you encounter these please update them to reflect the correct name for the location they are in.
