Definition
Towns or districts with their own local government; a subdivision of a city or region.
Etymology
From Old English 'burh' or 'burg' meaning fortified town, related to German 'Burg' (fortress). A borough was originally a town with defensive walls, later any incorporated town.
Kelly Says
New York City is made of five boroughs—but the word goes back to medieval fortified towns, so Staten Island and Brooklyn are technically called 'boroughs' because they were once walled settlements!
