Re: Ridgewood chain snatching

What you’re saying is true on Long Island but is not true for all New York towns. Even on Long Island, the exception to that is Shelter Island. There is a village on Shelter Island but pretty much everyone refers to the whole thing as Shelter Island.

The point being is that there are towns which are basically treated not as a township but as a single entity. This is relevant because the discussion went to why the former Newtown is treated as part of the former Flushing by the post office. And there actually was a Village of Flushing, but the other villages and hamlets that used to exist in the Town of Flushing also have “Flushing, NY” ZIP codes.

The 3 cities, 9 towns, and 12 villages that Greater New York replaced in 1898 are represented by the stars on the flag of the NYPD.
