What are the requirements to become a Borough? It seems that most of them are small(in land area) and densely populated. Are there any boroughs that are actually large in terms of land area? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamanadam ( talk • contribs) 16:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, administratively, what makes a borough a borought instead of, say, a township? The article doesn't mention anything about how this form of government differs. If it only differs, nominally, from a township, then that needs to be made note of. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 05:39, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- This is exactly what I was just asking myself. I lived in Pennsylvania from 2000-2009, then moving to my native California. From what little I could tell, Townships divided themselves into postal "towns" that somewhat mimic unincorporated areas in California. And Boroughs did not. I'd be very curious to know the real distinction. YellowAries2010 ( talk) 19:12, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm given to understand that townships are the oldest model, dating back to Penn, which most townships having converted to either boroughs or third-class cities. More information available in the Pennsylvania Manual on pages 6-5 and 6-6. - Fuzzy ( talk) 18:25, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

The second sentence begins with "Both", but the preceding sentence has only one subject - "Boros". I'm wondering if this was intended to be "Boros AND TOWNS" or "...AND TOWNSHIPS" PurpleChez ( talk) 19:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
