A number of Massachusetts municipalities are officially and confusingly named "The Town of X" even though they are cities in their form of government.
Similarly, 19 Connecticut towns have established city governments that have effectively superseded town government, even though the town government was never formally abolished. Hartford, for instance, has an official known as "Town and City Clerk" even though the state capital is known officially as "The City of Hartford". Theoretically there exists the governmental entity "The Town of Hartford" which has the same boundaries as "The City of Hartford", but the administration of the Town is carried out by the City.
