Two towns share a name with a village inside a different one: the town of Pittsford (30,617
\nresidents) contains its own village of Pittsford (1,419), and the town of Webster (45,327) contains
\nits own village of Webster (5,651) — four rows, two pairs, and each town’s figure already
\nincludes its village. East Rochester is the exception: its village incorporated in 1906 and became a
\ncoterminous town and village in 1981, so it has never had a separate “town outside
\nvillage” population the way Pittsford and Webster do.<\/p>\n
